Given a circle of radius $\sqrt{13}$, let $A$ be a point at a distance $4 + \sqrt{13}$ from the center $O$ of the circle. Let $B$ be the point on the circle nearest to point $A$. A line passing through the point $A$ intersects the circle at points $K$ and $L$. The maximum possible area for $\triangle BKL$ can be written in the form $\tfrac{a-b\sqrt{c}}{d}$, where $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$ are positive integers, $a$ and $d$ are relatively prime, and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a+b+c+d$.

Suppose $x$ and $y$ are real numbers such that \[x^2+xy+y^2=2\qquad\text{and}\qquad x^2-y^2=\sqrt5.\] The sum of all possible distinct values of $|x|$ can be written in the form $\textstyle\sum_{i=1}^n\sqrt{a_i}$, where each of the $a_i$ is a rational number. If $\textstyle\sum_{i=1}^na_i=\frac mn$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive realtively prime integers, what is $100m+n$? [i] Proposed by David Altizio [/i]

A set of points $P_i$ [i]covers[/i] a polygon if for every point in the polygon, a line can be drawn inside the polygon to at least one $P_i$. Points $A_1, A_2, \cdots, A_n$ in the plane form a $2007$-gon, not necessarily convex. Find the minimum value of $n$ such that for any such polygon, we can pick $n$ points inside it that cover the polygon.
