One hundred concentric circles with radii $1, 2, 3, \dots, 100$ are drawn in a plane. The interior of the circle of radius 1 is colored red, and each region bounded by consecutive circles is colored either red or green, with no two adjacent regions the same color. The ratio of the total area of the green regions to the area of the circle of radius 100 can be expressed as $m/n$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.
Given a convex figure in the Cartesian plane that is symmetric with respect of both axis, we construct a rectangle $A$ inside it with maximum area (over all posible rectangles). Then we enlarge it with center in the center of the rectangle and ratio lamda such that is covers the convex figure. Find the smallest lamda such that it works for all convex figures.
