Let $ABCD$ be a unit square and let $E$ and $F$ be points inside $ABCD$ such that the line containing $\overline{EF}$ is parallel to $\overline{AB}$. Point $E$ is closer to $\overline{AD}$ than point $F$ is to $\overline{AD}$. The line containing $\overline{EF}$ also bisects the square into two rectangles of equal area. Suppose $[AEF B] = [DEFC] = 2[AED] = 2[BFC]$. The length of segment $\overline{EF}$ can be expressed as $m/n$ , where m and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m + n$.

We consider an $n \times n$ ($n \in N, n \ge 2$) square divided into $n^2$ unit squares. Determine all the values of $k \in N$ for which we can write a real number in each of the unit squares such that the sum of the $n^2$ numbers is a positive number, while the sum of the numbers from the unit squares of any $k \times k$ square is a negative number.
