Problem 1

Square $\displaystyle S_{1}$ is $1\times 1.$ For $i\ge 1,$ the lengths of the sides of square $\displaystyle S_{i+1}$ are half the lengths of the sides of square $\displaystyle S_{i},$ two adjacent sides of square $\displaystyle S_{i}$ are perpendicular bisectors of two adjacent sides of square $\displaystyle S_{i+1},$ and the other two sides of square $\displaystyle S_{i+1},$ are the perpendicular bisectors of two adjacent sides of square $\displaystyle S_{i+2}.$ The total area enclosed by at least one of $\displaystyle S_{1}, S_{2}, S_{3}, S_{4}, S_{5}$ can be written in the form $\displaystyle m/n,$ where $\displaystyle m$ and $\displaystyle n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $\displaystyle m-n.$
