In base-$2$ notation, digits are $0$ and $1$ only and the places go up in powers of $-2$. For example, $11011$ stands for $(-2)^4+(-2)^3+(-2)^1+(-2)^0$ and equals number $7$ in base $10$. If the decimal number $2019$ is expressed in base $-2$ how many non-zero digits does it contain ?

Euclid places a morsel of food at the point $(0,0)$ and an ant at the point $(1,2)$. Every second, the ant walks one unit in one of the four coordinate directions. However, whenever the ant moves to $(x,\pm 3)$, Euclid's malicious brother Mobius picks it up and puts it at $(-x,\mp 2)$, and whenever it moves to $(\pm 2,y)$, his cousin Klein puts it at $(\mp 1,y)$. If $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers such that $\tfrac pq$ is the expected number of steps the ant takes before reaching the food, find $p+q$.
