2020 AIME I Problem 8

A bug walks all day and sleeps all night. On the first day, it starts at point O, faces east, and walks a distance of 5 units due east. Each night the bug rotates 60^\circ counterclockwise. Each day it walks in this new direction half as far as it walked the previous day. The bug gets arbitrarily close to the point P. Then OP^2=\tfrac{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
