2016 AIME II Problem 15
For 1 \leq i \leq 215 let a_i = \dfrac{1}{2^{i}} and a_{216} = \dfrac{1}{2^{215}}. Let x_1, x_2, ..., x_{216} be positive real numbers such that \sum_{i=1}^{216} x_i=1 and \sum_{1 \leq i < j \leq 216} x_ix_j = \dfrac{107}{215} + \sum_{i=1}^{216} \dfrac{a_i x_i^{2}}{2(1-a_i)}. The maximum possible value of x_2=\dfrac{m}{n}, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+n.
Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
