$n$ is a natural number. We shall call a permutation $a_1,\dots,a_n$ of $1,\dots,n$ a quadratic(cubic) permutation if $\forall 1\leq i \leq n-1$ we have $a_ia_{i+1}+1$ is a perfect square(cube).

A disk with radius $10$ and a disk with radius $8$ are drawn so that the distance between their centers is $3$. Two congruent small circles lie in the intersection of the two disks so that they are tangent to each other and to each of the larger circles as shown. The radii of the smaller circles are both $\tfrac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

A round table has radius $ 4$. Six rectangular place mats are placed on the table. Each place mat has width $ 1$ and length $ x$ as shown. They are positioned so that each mat has two corners on the edge of the table, these two corners being end points of the same side of length $ x$. Further, the mats are positioned so that the inner corners each touch an inner corner of an adjacent mat. What is $ x$?

Let $p$ and $q$ be real numbers. The quadratic equation $$x^2 + px + q = 0$$
has the real solutions $x_1$ and $x_2$. In addition, the following two conditions apply:
(i) The numbers $x_1$ and $x_2$ differ from each other by exactly $ 1$.
(ii) The numbers $p$ and $q$ differ from each other by exactly $ 1$.
Show that then $p$, $q$, $x_1$ and $x_2$ are integers.
