On a circle $k$, we marked four points $(A, B, C, D)$ and drew pairwise their connecting segments. We denoted angles as seen on the diagram. We know that $\alpha_1 : \alpha_2 = 2 : 5$, $\beta_1 : \beta_2 = 7 : 11$, and $\gamma_1 : \gamma_2 = 10 : 3$. If $\delta_1 : \delta_2 = p : q$, where $p$ and $q$ are coprime positive integers, then what is $p$?

Niki and Kyle play a triangle game. Niki first draws $\triangle ABC$ with area $1$, and Kyle picks a point $X$ inside $\triangle ABC$. Niki then draws segments $\overline{DG}$, $\overline{EH}$, and $\overline{FI}$, all through $X$, such that $D$ and $E$ are on $\overline{BC}$, $F$ and $G$ are on $\overline{AC}$, and $H$ and $I$ are on $\overline{AB}$. The ten points must all be distinct. Finally, let $S$ be the sum of the areas of triangles $DEX$, $FGX$, and $HIX$. Kyle earns $S$ points, and Niki earns $1-S$ points. If both players play optimally to maximize the amount of points they get, who will win and by how much?
