A square is called [i]proper[/i] if its sides are parallel to the coordinate axes. Point $P$ is randomly selected inside a proper square $S$ with side length 2012. Denote by $T$ the largest proper square that lies within $S$ and has $P$ on its perimeter, and denote by $a$ the expected value of the side length of $T$. Compute $\lfloor a \rfloor$, the greatest integer less than or equal to $a$. [i]Proposed by Lewis Chen[/i]

Alice and Bob play the following number-guessing game. Alice writes down a list of positive integers $x_{1}$, $\cdots$, $x_{n}$, but does not reveal them to Bob, who will try to determine the numbers by asking Alice questions. Bob chooses a list of positive integers $a_{1}$, $\cdots$, $a_{n}$ and asks Alice to tell him the value of $a_{1}x_{1}+\cdots+a_{n}x_{n}$. Then Bob chooses another list of positive integers $b_{1}$, $\cdots$, $b_{n}$ and asks Alice for $b_{1}x_{1}+\cdots+b_{n}x_{n}$. Play continues in this way until Bob is able to determine Alice's numbers. How many rounds will Bob need in order to determine Alice's numbers?
