A set of 1212 tokens --- 33 red, 22 white, 11 blue, and 66 black --- is to be distributed at random to 33 game players, 44 tokens per player. The probability that some player gets all the red tokens, another gets all the white tokens, and the remaining player gets the blue token can be written as mn\frac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. What is m+nm+n?

On top of a rectangular card with sides of length 11 and 2+32+\sqrt{3}, an identical card is placed so that two of their diagonals line up, as shown (AC‾\overline{AC}, in this case). Continue the process, adding a third card to the second, and so on, lining up successive diagonals after rotating clockwise. In total, how many cards must be used until a vertex of a new card lands exactly on the vertex labeled BB in the figure?
