Consider the L-shaped region formed by three unit squares joined at their sides, as shown below. Two points $A$ and $B$ are chosen independently and uniformly at random from inside this region. The probability that the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ also lies inside this L-shaped region can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Consider the minimum positive real number $\lambda$ such that for any two squares $A,B$ satisfying $\text{Area}(A) + \text{Area}(B)=1$, there always exists some rectangle $C$ of area $\lambda$, such that $A,B$ can be put inside $C$ and satisfy the following two constraints:
1. $A,B$ are non-overlapping;
2. the sides of $A$ and $B$ are parallel to some side of $C$.
$\lambda$ can be written as $\frac{\sqrt{m}+n}{p}$ for positive integers $m$, $n$, and $p$ where $n$ and $p$ are relatively prime. Find $m+n+p$.

On Halloween 31 children walked into the principal's office asking for candy. They can be classified into three types: Some always lie; some always tell the truth; and some alternately lie and tell the truth. The alternaters arbitrarily choose their first response, either a lie or the truth, but each subsequent statement has the opposite truth value from its predecessor. The principal asked everyone the same three questions in this order.
"Are you a truth-teller?" The principal gave a piece of candy to each of the 22 children who answered yes.
"Are you an alternater?" The principal gave a piece of candy to each of the 15 children who answered yes.
"Are you a liar?" The principal gave a piece of candy to each of the 9 children who answered yes.
How many pieces of candy in all did the principal give to the children who always tell the truth?
