Byan has $999,998,\dots,2,1$ balls in $999$ bins from left to right, respectively. In one move, he selects two adjacent bins where the left bin has an even number of balls and the right bin has an odd number of balls and moves one ball from the left bin to the right bin. Byan keeps making moves until he is unable to. Find the sum of all possible numbers of balls that can be left in the bin that initially had $500$ balls after Byan is finished.

Let $\vartriangle ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 5$, $BC = 8$, and, $CA = 7$. Let the center of the $A$-excircle be $O$, and let the $A$-excircle touch lines $BC$, $CA$, and,$ AB$ at points $X, Y$ , and, $Z$, respectively. Let $h_1$, $h_2$, and, $h_3$ denote the distances from $O$ to lines $XY$ , $Y Z$, and, ZX, respectively. If $h^2_1+ h^2_2+ h^2_3$ can be written as $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m, n$, find $m + n$.
