[b]p9.[/b] Suppose a farmer learns that he will die at the end of the year (day $365$, where today is day $0$) and that he has $100$ sheep. He decides to sell all his sheep on one day, and that his utility is given by $ab$ where $a$ is the money he makes by selling the sheep (which always have a fixed price) and $b$ is the number of days he has left to enjoy the profit; i.e., $365 - k$ where $k$ is the day number. If every day his sheep breed and multiply their numbers by $(421 + b)/421$ (yes, there are small, fractional sheep), on which day should he sell out?

A $2^{2014} + 1$ by $2^{2014} + 1$ grid has some black squares filled. The filled black squares form one or more snakes on the plane, each of whose heads splits at some points but never comes back together. In other words, for every positive integer $n$ greater than $2$, there do not exist pairwise distinct black squares $s_1$, $s_2$, \dots, $s_n$ such that $s_i$ and $s_{i+1}$ share an edge for $i=1,2, \dots, n$ (here $s_{n+1}=s_1$).
What is the maximum possible number of filled black squares?
