In $\triangle ABC$ with $\angle BAC = 60^{\circ}$ and circumcircle $\omega$, the angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ intersects side $\overline{BC}$ at point $D$, and line $AD$ is extended past $D$ to a point $A'$. Let points $E$ and $F$ be the feet of the perpendiculars of $A'$ onto lines $AB$ and $AC$, respectively. Suppose that $\omega$ is tangent to line $EF$ at a point $P$ between $E$ and $F$ such that $\tfrac{EP}{FP} = \tfrac{1}{2}$. Given that $EF=6$, the area of $\triangle ABC$ can be written as $\tfrac{m\sqrt{n}}{p}$, where $m$ and $p$ are relatively prime positive integers, and $n$ is a positive integer not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n+p$.

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?

There are three bags. One bag contains three green candies and one red candy. One bag contains two green candies and two red candies. One bag contains one green candy and three red candies. A child randomly selects one of the bags, randomly chooses a first candy from that bag, and eats the candy. If the first candy had been green, the child randomly chooses one of the other two bags and randomly selects a second candy from that bag. If the first candy had been red, the child randomly selects a second candy from the same bag as the first candy. If the probability that the second candy is green is given by the fraction $m/n$ in lowest terms, find $m + n$.
