There are $2017$ mutually external circles drawn on a blackboard, such that no two are tangent and no three share a common tangent. A tangent segment is a line segment that is a common tangent to two circles, starting at one tangent point and ending at the other one. Luciano is drawing tangent segments on the blackboard, one at a time, so that no tangent segment intersects any other circles or previously drawn tangent segments. Luciano keeps drawing tangent segments until no more can be drawn. Find all possible numbers of tangent segments when Luciano stops drawing.

The material of new ball corset of the princess is quadrilateral . The tailor must sew four decorative strips on it. Two of gold, two of silver. Two of the same color on two opposite sides and the other two on it to a midline not intersecting them. The tailor is not yet familiar with the dress final shape. However, you will definitely sew the dress to be the cheapest (i.e., the gold stripe should be shorter than the silver). For design, it would be important to know what color stripe is centered. Can you decide this without knowing the the exact shape of the dress? [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/8/1/85d40e7a352e468d0c9da7530c6a0378575de0.png[/img]

Triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ is an equilateral triangle with sidelength $1$. For each $n>1$, we construct triangle $A_nB_nC_n$ from $A_{n-1}B_{n-1}C_{n-1}$ according to the following rule: $A_n,B_n,C_n$ are points on segments $A_{n-1}B_{n-1},B_{n-1}C_{n-1},C_{n-1}A_{n-1}$ respectively, and satisfy the following: \[\dfrac{A_{n-1}A_n}{A_nB_{n-1}}=\dfrac{B_{n-1}B_n}{B_nC_{n-1}}=\dfrac{C_{n-1}C_n}{C_nA_{n-1}}=\dfrac1{n-1}\] So for example, $A_2B_2C_2$ is formed by taking the midpoints of the sides of $A_1B_1C_1$. Now, we can write $\tfrac{|A_5B_5C_5|}{|A_1B_1C_1|}=\tfrac mn$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime integers. Find $m+n$. (For a triangle $\triangle ABC$, $|ABC|$ denotes its area.)
