Let $n$ be a positive integer. An equilateral triangle with side $n$ will be denoted by $T_n$ and is divided in $n^2$ unit equilateral triangles with sides parallel to the initial, forming a grid. We will call "trapezoid" the trapezoid which is formed by three equilateral triangles (one base is equal to one and the other is equal to two). Let also $m$ be a positive integer with $m<n$ and suppose that $T_n$ and $T_m$ can be tiled with "trapezoids". Prove that, if from $T_n$ we remove a $T_m$ with the same orientation, then the rest can be tiled with "trapezoids".

In the Cartesian plane, let $S_{i,j} = \{(x,y)\mid i \le x \le j\}$. For $i=0,1,\ldots,2012$, color $S_{i,i+1}$ pink if $i$ is even and gray if $i$ is odd. For a convex polygon $P$ in the plane, let $d(P)$ denote its pink density, i.e. the fraction of its total area that is pink. Call a polygon $P$ [i]pinxtreme[/i] if it lies completely in the region $S_{0,2013}$ and has at least one vertex on each of the lines $x=0$ and $x=2013$. Given that the minimum value of $d(P)$ over all non-degenerate convex pinxtreme polygons $P$ in the plane can be expressed in the form $\frac{(1+\sqrt{p})^2}{q^2}$ for positive integers $p,q$, find $p+q$.
