Right triangle $\vartriangle ABC$ with $\angle A = 30^o$ and $\angle B = 90^o$ is inscribed in a circle $\omega_1$ with radius $4$. Circle $\omega_2$ is drawn to be the largest circle outside of $\vartriangle ABC$ that is tangent to both $\overline{BC}$ and $\omega_1$, and circles $\omega_3$ and $\omega_4$ are drawn this same way for sides $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{AB}$, respectively. Suppose that the intersection points of these smaller circles with the bigger circle are noted as points $D$, $E$, and $F$. Compute the area of triangle $\vartriangle DEF$.

In the country of Princetonia, there are an infinite number of cities, connected by roads. For every two distinct cities, there is a unique sequence of roads that leads from one city to the other. Moreover, there are exactly three roads from every city. On a sunny morning in early July, n tourists have arrived at the capital of Princetonia. They repeat the following process every day: in every city that contains three or more tourists, three tourists are picked and one moves to each of the three cities connected to the original one by roads. If there are $2$ or fewer tourists in the city, they do nothing. After some time, all tourists will settle and there will be no more changing cities. For how many values of n from $1$ to $2020$ will the tourists end in a configuration in which no two of them are in the same city?

Let $P_0P_5Q_5Q_0$ be a rectangular chocolate bar, one half dark chocolate and one half white chocolate, as shown in the diagram below. We randomly select $4$ points on the segment $P_0P_5$, and immediately after selecting those points, we label those $4$ selected points $P_1, P_2, P_3, P_4$ from left to right. Similarly, we randomly select $4$ points on the segment $Q_0Q_5$, and immediately after selecting those points, we label those $4$ points $Q_1, Q_2, Q_3, Q_4$ from left to right. The segments $P_1Q_1, P_2Q_2, P_3Q_3, P_4Q_4$ divide the rectangular chocolate bar into $5$ smaller trapezoidal pieces of chocolate. The probability that exactly $3$ pieces of chocolate contain both dark and white chocolate can be written as $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.
