Given $2012$ distinct points $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_{2012}$ on the Cartesian plane. For any permutation $B_1,B_2,\dots,B_{2012}$ of $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_{2012}$ define the [i]shadow[/i] of a point $P$ as follows: [i]Point $P$ is rotated by $180^{\circ}$ around $B_1$ resulting $P_1$, point $P_1$ is rotated by $180^{\circ}$ around $B_2$ resulting $P_2$, ..., point $P_{2011}$ is rotated by $180^{\circ}$ around $B_{2012}$ resulting $P_{2012}$. Then, $P_{2012}$ is called the shadow of $P$ with respect to the permutation $B_1,B_2,\dots,B_{2012}$.[/i]
Let $N$ be the number of different shadows of $P$ up to all permutations of $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_{2012}$. Determine the maximum value of $N$.

A board $64$ inches long and $4$ inches high is inclined so that the long side of the board makes a $30$ degree angle with the ground. The distance from the ground to the highest point on the board can be expressed in the form $a+b\sqrt{c}$ where $a,b,c$ are positive integers and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is $a+b+c$?
