A rectangular piece of of paper measures 4 units by 5 units. Several lines are drawn parallel to the edges of the paper. A rectangle determined by the intersections of some of these lines is called [i]basic [/i]if (i) all four sides of the rectangle are segments of drawn line segments, and (ii) no segments of drawn lines lie inside the rectangle. Given that the total length of all lines drawn is exactly 2007 units, let $N$ be the maximum possible number of basic rectangles determined. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by 1000.

In a small town, there are $n \times n$ houses indexed by $(i, j)$ for $1 \leq i, j \leq n$ with $(1, 1)$ being the house at the top left corner, where $i$ and $j$ are the row and column indices, respectively. At time 0, a fire breaks out at the house indexed by $(1, c)$, where $c \leq \frac{n}{2}$. During each subsequent time interval $[t, t+1]$, the fire fighters defend a house which is not yet on fire while the fire spreads to all undefended [i]neighbors[/i] of each house which was on fire at time t. Once a house is defended, it remains so all the time. The process ends when the fire can no longer spread. At most how many houses can be saved by the fire fighters? A house indexed by $(i, j)$ is a [i]neighbor[/i] of a house indexed by $(k, l)$ if $|i - k| + |j - l|=1$.

Two long cylindrical tubes of the same length but different diameters lie parallel to each other on a flat surface. The larger tube has radius $72$ and rolls along the surface toward the smaller tube, which has radius $24$. It rolls over the smaller tube and continues rolling along the flat surface until it comes to rest on the same point of its circumference as it started, having made one complete revolution. If the smaller tube never moves, and the rolling occurs with no slipping, the larger tube ends up a distance $x$ from where it starts. The distance $x$ can be expressed in the form $a\pi+b\sqrt{c},$ where $a,$ $b,$ and $c$ are integers and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a+b+c.$
