Given a circle with its perimeter equal to $n$( $n \in N^*$), the least positive integer $P_n$ which satisfies the following condition is called the “[i]number of the partitioned circle[/i]”: there are $P_n$ points ($A_1,A_2, \ldots ,A_{P_n}$) on the circle; For any integer $m$ ($1\le m\le n-1$), there always exist two points $A_i,A_j$ ($1\le i,j\le P_n$), such that the length of arc $A_iA_j$ is equal to $m$. Furthermore, all arcs between every two adjacent points $A_i,A_{i+1}$ ($1\le i\le P_n$, $A_{p_n+1}=A_1$) form a sequence $T_n=(a_1,a_2,,,a_{p_n})$ called the “[i]sequence of the partitioned circle[/i]”. For example when $n=13$, the number of the partitioned circle $P_{13}$=4, the sequence of the partitioned circle $T_{13}=(1,3,2,7)$ or $(1,2,6,4)$. Determine the values of $P_{21}$ and $P_{31}$, and find a possible solution of $T_{21}$ and $T_{31}$ respectively.

Let $ h$ be a triangle of perimeter $ 1$, and let $ H$ be a triangle of perimeter $ \lambda$ homothetic to $ h$. Let $ h_1,h_2,...$ be translates of $ h$ such that , for all $ i$, $ h_i$ is different from $ h_{i\plus{}2}$ and touches $ H$ and $ h_{i\plus{}1}$ (that is, intersects without overlapping). For which values of $ \lambda$ can these triangles be chosen so that the sequence $ h_1,h_2,...$ is periodic? If $ \lambda \geq 1$ is such a value, then determine the number of different triangles in a periodic
chain $ h_1,h_2,...$ and also the number of times such a chain goes around the triangle $ H$.

A [i]stick[/i] is defined as a $1 \times k$ or $k\times 1$ rectangle for any integer $k \ge 1$. We wish to partition the cells of a $2022 \times 2022$ chessboard into $m$ non-overlapping sticks, such that any two of these $m$ sticks share at most one unit of perimeter. Determine the smallest $m$ for which this is possible.

Points $A$ and $B$ are the endpoints of a diameter of a circle with center $C$. Points $D$ and $E$ lie on the same diameter so that $C$ bisects segment $\overline{DE}$. Let $F$ be a randomly chosen point within the circle. The probability that $\triangle DEF$ has a perimeter less than the length of the diameter of the circle is $\tfrac{17}{128}$. There are relatively prime positive integers m and n so that the ratio of $DE$ to $AB$ is $\tfrac{m}{n}.$ Find $m + n$.
