For $|a|,|b|\le 2,$ let $w(a,b)$ be as in the table shown; otherwise, let $w(a,b)=0.$ \[\begin{array}{|lr|rrrrr|}\hline &&&&b&&\\ &w(a,b)&-2&-1&0&1&2\\ \hline &-2&-1&-2&2&-2&-1\\ &-1&-2&4&-4&4&-2\\ a&0&2&-4&12&-4&2\\ &1&-2&4&-4&4&-2\\ &2&-1&-2&2&-2&-1\\ \hline\end{array}\] For every finite subset $S$ of $\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z},$ define \[A(S)=\sum_{(\mathbf{s},\mathbf{s'})\in S\times S} w(\mathbf{s}-\mathbf{s'}).\] Prove that if $S$ is any finite nonempty subset of $\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z},$ then $A(S)>0.$ (For example, if $S=\{(0,1),(0,2),(2,0),(3,1)\},$ then the terms in $A(S)$ are $12,12,12,12,4,4,0,0,0,0,-1,-1,-2,-2,-4,-4.$)

You are walking along a road of constant width with sidewalks on each side. You can only walk on the sidewalks or cross the road perpendicular to the sidewalk. Coming up on a turn, you realize that you are on the “outside” of the turn; i.e., you are taking the longer way around the turn. The turn is a circular arc. Assuming that your destination is on the same side of the road as you are currently, let $\theta$ be the smallest turn angle, in radians, that would justify crossing the road and then crossing back after the turn to take the shorter total path to your destination. What is $\lfloor 100 \cdot \theta \rfloor$ ?
