Problem Statement

For a real number a a, let a \lfloor a \rfloor denominate the greatest integer less than or equal to a a. Let R \mathcal{R} denote the region in the coordinate plane consisting of points (x,y) (x,y) such that \lfloor x \rfloor ^2 \plus{} \lfloor y \rfloor ^2 \equal{} 25. The region R \mathcal{R} is completely contained in a disk of radius r r (a disk is the union of a circle and its interior). The minimum value of r r can be written as mn \tfrac {\sqrt {m}}{n}, where m m and n n are integers and m m is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find m \plus{} n.
