Let $\triangle ABC$ be a triangle such that $AB=5,AC=8,$ and $\angle BAC=60^{\circ}$. Let $\Gamma$ denote the circumcircle of $ABC$, and let $I$ and $O$ denote the incenter and circumcenter of $\triangle ABC$, respectively. Let $P$ be the intersection of ray $IO$ with $\Gamma$, and let $X$ be the intersection of ray $BI$ with $\Gamma$. If the area of quadrilateral $XICP$ can be expressed as $\frac{a\sqrt{b}+c\sqrt{d}}{e}$, where $a$ and $d$ are squarefree positive integers and $\gcd(a,c,e)=1$, compute $a+b+c+d+e$.

LeRoy and Bernardo went on a week-long trip together and agreed to share the costs equally. Over the week, each of them paid for various joint expenses such as gasoline and car rental. At the end of the trip it turned out that LeRoy had paid $A$ dollars and Bernardo had paid $B$ dollars, where $A < B$. How many dollars must LeRoy give to Bernardo so that they share the costs equally? $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac{A+B}{2} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \frac{A-B}{2} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \frac{B-A}{2} \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ B-A \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ A+B $

Let $a$ and $b$ be two sides of a triangle. How should the third side $c$ be chosen so that the points of contact of the incircle and the excircle with side $c$ divide that side into three equal segments? (The excircle corresponding to the side $c$ is the circle which is tangent to the side $c$ and to the extensions of the sides $a$ and $b$.) (Folklore)
