In a 100-dimensional hypercube, each edge has length $ 1$. The box contains $2^{100} + 1$ hyperspheres with the same radius $ r$. The center of one hypersphere is the center of the hypercube, and it touches all the other spheres. Each of the other hyperspheres is tangent to $100$ faces of the hypercube. Thus, the hyperspheres are tightly packed in the hypercube. Find $ r$.

A basket is called "[i]Stuff Basket[/i]" if it includes $10$ kilograms of rice and $30$ number of eggs. A market is to distribute $100$ Stuff Baskets. We know that there is totally $1000$ kilograms of rice and $3000$ number of eggs in the baskets, but some of market's baskets include either more or less amount of rice or eggs. In each step, market workers can select two baskets and move an arbitrary amount of rice or eggs between selected baskets. Starting from an arbitrary situation, what's the minimum number of steps that workers provide $100$ Stuff Baskets?
