We define a [i]chessboard polygon[/i] to be a polygon whose sides are situated along lines of the form $ x \equal{} a$ or $ y \equal{} b$, where $ a$ and $ b$ are integers. These lines divide the interior into unit squares, which are shaded alternately grey and white so that adjacent squares have different colors. To tile a chessboard polygon by dominoes is to exactly cover the polygon by non-overlapping $ 1 \times 2$ rectangles. Finally, a [i]tasteful tiling[/i] is one which avoids the two configurations of dominoes shown on the left below. Two tilings of a $ 3 \times 4$ rectangle are shown; the first one is tasteful, while the second is not, due to the vertical dominoes in the upper right corner. [asy]size(300); pathpen = linewidth(2.5); void chessboard(int a, int b, pair P){ for(int i = 0; i < a; ++i) for(int j = 0; j < b; ++j) if((i+j) % 2 == 1) fill(shift(P.x+i,P.y+j)*unitsquare,rgb(0.6,0.6,0.6)); D(P--P+(a,0)--P+(a,b)--P+(0,b)--cycle); } chessboard(2,2,(2.5,0));fill(unitsquare,rgb(0.6,0.6,0.6));fill(shift(1,1)*unitsquare,rgb(0.6,0.6,0.6)); chessboard(4,3,(6,0)); chessboard(4,3,(11,0)); MP("\mathrm{Distasteful\ tilings}",(2.25,3),fontsize(12)); /* draw lines */ D((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--cycle); D((1,0)--(1,2)); D((2.5,1)--(4.5,1)); D((7,0)--(7,2)--(6,2)--(10,2)--(9,2)--(9,0)--(9,1)--(7,1)); D((8,2)--(8,3)); D((12,0)--(12,2)--(11,2)--(13,2)); D((13,1)--(15,1)--(14,1)--(14,3)); D((13,0)--(13,3));[/asy] a) Prove that if a chessboard polygon can be tiled by dominoes, then it can be done so tastefully. b) Prove that such a tasteful tiling is unique.

$B$ is the center of unit circle. $A,C$ are points on the circle (the order of $A,B,C$ is clockwise), and $\angle ABC=2\alpha(0<\alpha<\frac{\pi}{3})$. Then we will rotate $\triangle ABC$ anticlockwise. In the first rotation, $A$ is the center of rotation, the result is that $B$ is on the circle. In the second rotation, $B$ is the center of rotation, the result is that $C$ is on the circle. In the third rotation, $C$ is the center of rotation, the result is that $A$ is on the circle. ... After we rotate for $100$ times, the distance $A$ travelled is $\text{(A)}22\pi(1+\sin\alpha)-66\alpha\qquad\text{(B)}\frac{67}{3}\pi\qquad\text{(C)}22\pi+\frac{68}{3}\pi\sin\alpha-66\alpha\qquad\text{(D)}33\pi-66\alpha$

A right circular cone has base radius $ r$ and height $ h$. The cone lies on its side on a flat table. As the cone rolls on the surface of the table without slipping, the point where the cone's base meets the table traces a circular arc centered at the point where the vertex touches the table. The cone first returns to its original position on the table after making $ 17$ complete rotations. The value of $ h/r$ can be written in the form $ m\sqrt {n}$, where $ m$ and $ n$ are positive integers and $ n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ m \plus{} n$.
