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 $a+b+c$?

[b]p21.[/b] Last year’s high school graduates started high school in year $n- 4 = 2017$, a prime year. They graduated high school and started college in year $n = 2021$, a product of two consecutive primes. They will graduate college in year $n + 4 = 2025$, a square number. Find the sum of all $n < 2021$ for which these three properties hold. That is, find the sum of those $n < 2021$ such that $n -4$ is prime, n is a product of two consecutive primes, and $n + 4$ is a square.

Circle $C_0$ has radius $1$, and the point $A_0$ is a point on the circle. Circle $C_1$ has radius $r<1$ and is internally tangent to $C_0$ at point $A_0$. Point $A_1$ lies on circle $C_1$ so that $A_1$ is located $90^{\circ}$ counterclockwise from $A_0$ on $C_1$. Circle $C_2$ has radius $r^2$ and is internally tangent to $C_1$ at point $A_1$. In this way a sequence of circles $C_1,C_2,C_3,...$ and a sequence of points on the circles $A_1,A_2,A_3,...$ are constructed, where circle $C_n$ has radius $r^n$ and is internally tangent to circle $C_{n-1}$ at point $A_{n-1}$, and point $A_n$ lies on $C_n$ $90^{\circ}$ counterclockwise from point $A_{n-1}$, as shown in the figure below. There is one point $B$ inside all of these circles. When $r=\frac{11}{60}$, the distance from the center of $C_0$ to $B$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.
