A frog is placed at the origin on the number line , and moves according to the following rule: in a given move, the frog advances to either the closest point with a greater integer coordinate that is a multiple of $3$ , or to the closest point with a greater integer coordinate that is a multiple of $13$ . A move sequence is a sequence of coordinates which correspond to valid moves, beginning with $0$ , and ending with $39$ . For example, $0,\ 3,\ 6,\ 13,\ 15,\ 26,\ 39$ is a move sequence. How many move sequences are possible for the frog?

Two long cylindrical tubes of the same length but different diameters lie parallel to each other on a flat surface . The larger tube has radius $72$ and rolls along the surface toward the smaller tube, which has radius $24$ . It rolls over the smaller tube and continues rolling along the flat surface until it comes to rest on the same point of its circumference as it started, having made one complete revolution.

The distance $x$ can be expressed in the form $a\pi+b\sqrt{c},$ where $a,$ $b,$ and $c$ are integers and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime . Find $a+b+c.$
