Let $S$ denote the set of words $W = w_1w_2\ldots w_n$ of any length $n\ge0$ (including the empty string $\lambda$), with each letter $w_i$ from the set $\{x,y,z\}$. Call two words $U,V$ [i]similar[/i] if we can insert a string $s\in\{xyz,yzx,zxy\}$ of three consecutive letters somewhere in $U$ (possibly at one of the ends) to obtain $V$ or somewhere in $V$ (again, possibly at one of the ends) to obtain $U$, and say a word $W$ is [i]trivial[/i] if for some nonnegative integer $m$, there exists a sequence $W_0,W_1,\ldots,W_m$ such that $W_0=\lambda$ is the empty string, $W_m=W$, and $W_i,W_{i+1}$ are similar for $i=0,1,\ldots,m-1$. Given that for two relatively prime positive integers $p,q$ we have
\[\frac{p}{q} = \sum_{n\ge0} f(n)\left(\frac{225}{8192}\right)^n,\]where $f(n)$ denotes the number of trivial words in $S$ of length $3n$ (in particular, $f(0)=1$), find $p+q$.

This problem is about pairs of consecutive whole numbers satisfying the property that one of the numbers is a perfect square and the other one is the double of a perfect square.
(a) The smallest such pairs are $(0,1)$ and $(8,9)$, Indeed $0=2 \cdot 0^2$ and $1=1^2$; $8=2 \cdot 2^2$ and $9=3^2$. Show that there are infinitely many pairs of the form $(2a^2,b^2)$ where the smaller number is the double of a perfect square satisfying the given property.
(b) Find a pair of integers satisfying the property that is not in the form given in the first part, that is, find a
pair of integers such that the smaller one is a perfect square and the larger one is the double of a perfect
square.
