The opposite sides of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle intersect at points $K$ and $L$. Let $F$ be the midpoint of $KL$, $E$ and $G$ be the midpoints of the diagonals of the given quadrilateral. It is known that $FE = a$, $FG = b$. Calculate $KL$ in terms of $a$ and $b.$ (It is known that the points $F$, $E$ and $G$ lie on the same straight line. This is true for any quadrilateral, not necessarily inscribed. The indicated straight line is sometimes called the Newton−Gauss line. This fact can be used without proof in proving the problem, as it is known).

The hall in a castle is a regular hexagon where its sides' length is 6 meters. The floor of the hall is to be tiled with equilateral triangular tiles where its sides' length is 50 centimeters. Each tile is divided into three congruent triangles by their altitudes up to its orthocenter (see below). Each of these small triangles are colored such that each tile has different colors and no two tiles have identical colorings. How many colors at least are required? A tile's pattern is: [asy] draw((0,0.000)--(2,0.000)); draw((2,0.000)--(1,1.732)); draw((1,1.732)--(0,0.000)); draw((1,0.577)--(0,0.000)); draw((1,0.577)--(2,0.000)); draw((1,0.577)--(1,1.732)); [/asy]
