Let $n$ points be given inside a rectangle $R$ such that no two of them lie on a line parallel to one of the sides of $R$. The rectangle $R$ is to be dissected into smaller rectangles with sides parallel to the sides of $R$ in such a way that none of these rectangles contains any of the given points in its interior.

We have a regular $n{}$-gon, with $n\geqslant 4$. We consider the arrangements of $n{}$ numbers on its vertices, each of which is equal to 1 or 2. For each such arrangement $K{}$, we find the number of odd sums among all sums of numbers in several consecutive vertices. This number is denoted by $\alpha(K)$. [list=a] [*]Find the largest possible value of $\alpha(K)$. [*]Find the number of arrangements for which $\alpha(K)$ takes this largest possible value. [/list] [i]Proposed by P. Kozhevnikov[/i]

Circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ are externally tangent, and they are both internally tangent to circle $C_3$. The radii of $C_1$ and $C_2$ are $4$ and $10$, respectively, and the centers of the three circles are all collinear. A chord of $C_3$ is also a common external tangent of $C_1$ and $C_2$. Given that the length of the chord is $\frac{m\sqrt{n}}{p}$ where $m,n,$ and $p$ are positive integers, $m$ and $p$ are relatively prime, and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime, find $m+n+p$.
