A square with side length $8$ is colored white except for $4$ black isosceles right triangular regions with legs of length $2$ in each corner of the square and a black diamond with side length $2\sqrt{2}$ in the center of the square, as shown in the diagram. A circular coin with diameter $1$ is dropped onto the square and lands in a random location where the coin is completely contained within the square, The probability that the coin will cover part of the black region of the square can be written as $\frac{1}{196}(a+b\sqrt{2}+\pi)$, where $a$ and $b$ are positive integers. What is $a+b$?

Alice and Bob play on an infinite board formed by equilateral triangles. In each turn, Alice first places a white token on an unoccupied cell, and then Bob places a black token on an unoccupied cell. Alice's goal is to eventually have $k$ white tokens on a line. Determine the maximum value of $k$ for which Alice can achieve this no matter how Bob plays.

Sir Alex plays the following game on a row of 9 cells. Initially, all cells are empty. In each move, Sir Alex is allowed to perform exactly one of the following two operations:
[list=1]
[*] Choose any number of the form $2^j$, where $j$ is a non-negative integer, and put it into an empty cell.
[*] Choose two (not necessarily adjacent) cells with the same number in them; denote that number by $2^j$. Replace the number in one of the cells with $2^{j+1}$ and erase the number in the other cell.
[/list]
At the end of the game, one cell contains $2^n$, where $n$ is a given positive integer, while the other cells are empty. Determine the maximum number of moves that Sir Alex could have made, in terms of $n$.
