Roy is baking a circular three tier cake. All of the tiers are centered around the same point. Each tier's radius is <math>\frac{3}{4}</math> of the radius of the tier below it, but the height of each tier stays constant. Roy wants to ice the cake, but only on the curved surfaces of the cake and the top of the smallest tier. The diameter of the lowest tier is <math>128</math> centimeters and its height is <math>10</math> centimeters. If the surface area that is iced can be expressed as <math>m\pi,</math> find <math>m.</math>

20 unit spheres are stacked in a triangular pyramid formation, such that the first layer has 1 sphere, the second layer has 3 spheres, the third layer has 6 spheres, and the fourth layer has 10 spheres. The radius of the smallest sphere that fully contains all of these spheres is <math>\frac{a\sqrt{b}+c}{d},</math> where <math>\gcd{(a,c,d)}=1</math> and <math>b</math> is not divisible by the square of any prime.
