In triangle $ ABC$, $ AB \equal{} 10$, $ BC \equal{} 14$, and $ CA \equal{} 16$. Let $ D$ be a point in the interior of $ \overline{BC}$. Let $ I_B$ and $ I_C$ denote the incenters of triangles $ ABD$ and $ ACD$, respectively. The circumcircles of triangles $ BI_BD$ and $ CI_CD$ meet at distinct points $ P$ and $ D$. The maximum possible area of $ \triangle BPC$ can be expressed in the form $ a\minus{}b\sqrt{c}$, where $ a$, $ b$, and $ c$ are positive integers and $ c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ a\plus{}b\plus{}c$.

One million [i]bucks [/i] (i.e. one million male deer) are in different cells of a $1000 \times 1000$ grid. The left and right edges of the grid are then glued together, and the top and bottom edges of the grid are glued together, so that the grid forms a doughnut-shaped torus. Furthermore, some of the bucks are [i]honest bucks[/i], who always tell the truth, and the remaining bucks are [i]dishonest bucks[/i], who never tell the truth. Each of the million [i]bucks [/i] claims that “at most one of my neighboring bucks is an [i]honest buck[/i].” A pair of [i]neighboring bucks[/i] is said to be [i]buckaroo[/i] if exactly one of them is an [i]honest buck[/i] . What is the minimum possible number of [i]buckaroo [/i] pairs in the grid? Note: Two [i]bucks [/i] are considered to be [i]neighboring [/i] if their cells $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ satisfy either: $x_1 = x_2$ and $y_1 - y_2 \equiv \pm1$ (mod $1000$), or $x_1 - x_2 \equiv \pm 1$ (mod $1000$) and $y_1 = y_2$.

The initial number of inhabitants of a city of more than $150$ inhabitants is a perfect square. With an increase of $1000$ inhabitants it becomes a perfect square plus a unit. After from another increase of $1000$ inhabitants it is again a perfect square. Determine the quantity of inhabitants that are initially in the city.
