1993 AIME Problem 12

The vertices of \triangle ABC are A = (0,0)\,, B = (0,420)\,, and C = (560,0)\,. The six faces of a die are labeled with two A\,'s, two B\,'s, and two C\,'s. Point P_1 = (k,m)\, is chosen in the interior of \triangle ABC, and points P_2\,, P_3\,, P_4, \ldots are generated by rolling the die repeatedly and applying the rule: If the die shows label L\,, where L \in \{A, B, C\}, and P_n\, is the most recently obtained point, then P_{n + 1}^{} is the midpoint of \overline{P_n L}. Given that P_7 = (14,92)\,, what is k + m\,?

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
