In $\triangle ADE$, $\measuredangle ADE=140^\circ$, points $B$ and $C$ lie on sides $AD$ and $AE$, respectively, and points $A,~B,~C,~D,~E$ are distinct.* If lengths $AB,~BC,~CD,$ and $DE$ are all equal, then the measure of $\measuredangle EAD$ is $\textbf{(A) }5^\circ\qquad\textbf{(B) }6^\circ\qquad\textbf{(C) }7.5^\circ\qquad\textbf{(D) }8^\circ\qquad \textbf{(E) }10^\circ$ [size=50]* The specification that points $A,B,C,D,E$ be distinct was not included in the original statement of the problem. If $B=D$, then $C=E$ and $\measuredangle EAD=20^\circ$.[/size]

There are $456$ people around a circle, denoted as $X_1, X_2, \dots, X_{456}$, and each one of them thought of a number. Every time Laura says an integer $k$ with $2 \leqslant k \leqslant 100$, the announcer announces all the numbers $p_1, p_2, \dots, p_{456}$, which are the averages of the numbers thought by the people in all the groups of $k$ consecutive people: $p_1$ is the average of the numbers thought by the people from $X_1$ to $X_k$, $p_2$ is the average of the numbers thought by the people from $X_2$ to $X_{k+1}$, and so on until $p_{456}$, the average of the numbers thought by the people from $X_{456}$ to $X_{k-1}$. Determine how many numbers $k$ Laura must say at a minimum so that, with certainty, the announcer can know the number thought by the person $X_{456}$.
