The figure below shows a dotted grid $8$ cells wide and $3$ cells tall consisting of $1''\times1''$ squares. Carl places $1$-inch toothpicks along some of the sides of the squares to create a closed loop that does not intersect itself. The numbers in the cells indicate the number of sides of that square that are to be covered by toothpicks, and any number of toothpicks are allowed if no number is written. In how many ways can Carl place the toothpicks?

Ten people form a circle. Each picks a number and tells it to the two neighbors adjacent to him in the circle. Then each person computes and announces the average of the numbers of his two neighbors. The figure shows the average announced by each person ([u]not[/u] the original number the person picked). The number picked by the person who announced the average $6$ was [asy] label("(1)", (0,.9)); label("(2)", (.4,.65)); label("(3)", (.8,.25)); label("(4)", (.8,-.2)); label("(5)", (.4,-.65)); label("(6)", (0,-.9)); label("(7)", (-.4,-.65)); label("(8)", (-.8,-.2)); label("(9)", (-.8,.25)); label("(10)", (-.4,.65)); [/asy] $ \textbf{(A)}\ 1 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 5 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 6 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 10 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \text{not uniquely determined from the given information} $

Each of $27$ bricks (right rectangular prisms) has dimensions $a \times b \times c$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are pairwise relatively prime positive integers. These bricks are arranged to form a $3 \times 3 \times 3$ block, as shown on the left below. A $28$[sup]th[/sup] brick with the same dimensions is introduced, and these bricks are reconfigured into a $2 \times 2 \times 7$ block, shown on the right. The new block is $1$ unit taller, $1$ unit wider, and $1$ unit deeper than the old one. What is $a + b + c$?
