Understand the scale
Scale 0.5: Easiest math competition problems, often solvable even for early middle school students without experience. 1: Problems strictly for beginners, often at a moderate middle school level. 1.5: Problems for stronger beginner students, on the level of the middling problems in most middle school contests. 2: For motivated beginners, harder questions from the previous categories. 2.5: More advanced beginner problems, hardest questions from previous categories. 3: Early intermediate problems that require more creative thinking. 3.5: Tougher early intermediate problems that consistently stretch into higher-level creative thinking or conceptual knowledge. 4: Intermediate-level problems. 4.5: Upper intermediate problems approaching the upper bound for non-invitational sprint math competitions. 5: More difficult AIME problems or simple proof-based Olympiad-style problems. 6: High-level AIME-styled questions or introductory Olympiad-level questions. 7: Tougher Olympiad-level questions, may require more technical knowledge. 8: High-level Olympiad-level questions. 9: Expert Olympiad-level questions. 9.5: The hardest problems appearing on Olympiads which the strongest students could reasonably solve. 10: Historically notorious problems, generally unsuitable for even very hard competitions because they are exceedingly tedious, long, and difficult.

Problem

Problem:

OO is the center of square ABCDABCD, and MM and NN are the midpoints of BC‾\overline{BC} and AD‾\overline{AD}, respectively. Points A′A', B′B', C′C', D′D' are chosen on AO‾\overline{AO}, BO‾\overline{BO}, CO‾\overline{CO}, DO‾\overline{DO}, respectively, so that A′B′MC′D′NA'B'MC'D'N is an equiangular hexagon. The ratio [A′B′MC′D′N][ABCD]\frac{[A'B'MC'D'N]}{[ABCD]} can be written as a+bcd\frac{a+b\sqrt{c}}{d}, where a,b,c,da, b, c, d are integers, dd is positive, cc is square-free, and gcd⁡(a,b,d)=1\operatorname{gcd}(a, b, d)=1. Find 1000a+100b+10c+d1000a+100b+10c+d.
