Point $D$ lies on side $BC$ of $\triangle ABC$ so that $\overline{AD}$ bisects $\angle BAC$. The perpendicular bisector of $\overline{AD}$ intersects the bisectors of $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ACB$ in points $E$ and $F$, respectively. Given that $AB=4$, $BC=5$, $CA=6$, the area of $\triangle AEF$ can be written as $\tfrac{m\sqrt n}p$, where $m$ and $p$ are relatively prime positive integers, and $n$ is a positive integer not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n+p$.

A square is drawn in the Cartesian coordinate plane with vertices at $(2,2)$, $(-2,2)$, $(-2,-2)$, and $(2,-2)$. A particle starts at $(0,0)$. Every second it moves with equal probability to one of the eight lattice points (points with integer coordinates) closest to its current position, independently of its previous moves. In other words, the probability is $\frac{1}{8}$ that the particle will move from $(x,y)$ to each of $(x,y+1)$, $(x+1,y+1)$, $(x+1,y)$, $(x+1,y-1)$, $(x,y-1)$, $(x-1,y-1)$, $(x-1,y)$, $(x-1,y+1)$. The particle will eventually hit the square for the first time, either at one of the $4$ corners of the square or one of the $12$ lattice points in the interior of one of the sides of the square. The probability that it will hit at a corner rather than at an interior point of a side is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $m+n$?

A coin is biased in such a way that on each toss the probability of heads is $\frac{2}{3}$ and the probability of tails is $\frac{1}{3}$. The outcomes of the tosses are independent. A player has the choice of playing Game A or Game B. In Game A she tosses the coin three times and wins if all three outcomes are the same. In Game B she tosses the coin four times and wins if both the outcomes of the first and second tosses are the same and the outcomes of the third and fourth tosses are the same. How do the chances of winning Game A compare to the chances of winning Game B?
$\textbf{(A)} \text{ The probability of winning Game A is }\frac{4}{81}\text{ less than the probability of winning Game B.} $
$\textbf{(B)} \text{ The probability of winning Game A is }\frac{2}{81}\text{ less than the probability of winning Game B.}$
$\textbf{(C)} \text{ The probabilities are the same.}$
$\textbf{(D)} \text{ The probability of winning Game A is }\frac{2}{81}\text{ greater than the probability of winning Game B.}$
