A group of $ 12 $ pirates agree to divide a treasure chest of gold coins among themselves as follows. The $ k^\text{th} $ pirate to take a share takes $ \frac{k}{12} $ of the coins that remain in the chest. The number of coins initially in the chest is the smallest number for which this arrangement will allow each pirate to receive a positive whole number of coins. How many coins does the $ 12^{\text{th}} $ pirate receive?

Let $k$ be a positive integer. Bernardo and Silvia take turns writing and erasing numbers on a blackboard as follows. Bernardo starts by writing the smallest perfect square with $k+1$ digits. Every time Bernardo writes a number, Silvia erases the last $k$ digits of it. Bernardo then writes the next perfect square, Silvia erases the last $k$ digits of it, and this process continues until the last two numbers that remain on the board differ by at least $2$. Let $f(k)$ be the smallest positive integer not written on the board. For example, if $k = 1$, then the numbers that Bernardo writes are $16$, $25$, $36$, $49$, and $64$, and the numbers showing on the board after Silvia erases are $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$, and $6$, and thus $f(1) = 5$. What is the sum of the digits of $f(2) + f(4) + f(6) + \cdots + f(2016)$?

When rolling a certain unfair six-sided die with faces numbered $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$, and $6$, the probability of obtaining face $F$ is greater than $\frac{1}{6}$, the probability of obtaining the face opposite is less than $\frac{1}{6}$, the probability of obtaining any one of the other four faces is $\frac{1}{6}$, and the sum of the numbers on opposite faces is $7$. When two such dice are rolled, the probability of obtaining a sum of $7$ is $\frac{47}{288}$. Given that the probability of obtaining face $F$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, find $m+n$.
