The following is the construction of the [I]twindragon[/I] fractal. $I_0$ is the solid square region with vertices $(0,0),$ $ (\tfrac{1}{2}, \tfrac{1}{2}),$ $(1,0), (\tfrac{1}{2}, -\tfrac{1}{2}).$ Recursively, the region $I_{n+1}$ is consists of two copies of $I_n:$ one copy which is rotated $45^\circ$ counterclockwise around the origin and scaled by a factor of $\tfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}},$ and another copy which is also rotated $45^\circ$ counterclockwise around the origin and scaled by a factor of $\tfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ and translated by $(\tfrac{1}{2}, -\tfrac{1}{2}).$ We have displayed $I_0$ and $I_1$ below. Let $I_{\infty}$ be the limiting region of $I_0, I_1, \ldots.$ The area of the smallest convex polygon which encloses $I_{\infty}$ can be written as $\tfrac{a}{b}$ for relatively prime positive integers $a$ and $b.$ Find $a+b.$ [center] [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/b/c/50b5d5a70c293329cf693bfaef823fb2813b07.png[/img] [/center]

The students were required to rank these courses according to their preferences, where equal preferences were allowed. It turned out that: [list] [*][b](i)[/b] mathematics was ranked among the most preferred courses by all students; [*][b](ii)[/b] no student ranked music among the least preferred ones; [*][b](iii) [/b]all students preferred history to geography and physics to biology; and [*][b](iv)[/b] no two rankings were the same.
