A bookshelf contains 6 distinct books of Mathematics and 5 distinct books of Physics. From these 11 books, 6 books are chosen at random. Let $X$ be the absolute value of the difference between the number of Mathematics books chosen and the number of Physics books chosen. If $\alpha$ is the mean of the random variable $X$, then the value of $77 \alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
Consider the ellipse $E$ given by $\frac{x^2}{18}+\frac{y^2}{12}=1$. Let $H$ be the hyperbola whose eccentricity is the reciprocal of the eccentricity of $E$ and whose foci are the same as that of $E$. Let $P$ and $Q$ be the points of intersection of $H$ and the parabola $\sqrt{5} y=x^2$ in the first quadrant. Let $d$ be the distance between $P$ and $Q$.
If $a$ and $b$ are the integers such that $d^2=a+b \sqrt{5}$, then the value of $a-b$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
For a real number $\alpha$, let $[\alpha]$ denote the greatest integer less than or equal to $\alpha$. For a finite set $S$, let $|S|$ denote the number of elements in the set $S$.
Consider the functions $f:(-3,3) \rightarrow(-\infty, \infty)$ and $g:(-3,3) \rightarrow(-\infty, \infty)$ defined by
$$ f(x)=\left[x^3\right] \log _e\left(1+\sin ^2(\pi(x-[x]))\right) $$
and
$$ g(x)=x^3 \sin ^2\left(\pi \log _e(1+x-[x])\right) . $$
Let
$$ A=\{x \in(-3,3): f \text { is discontinuous at } x\} $$
and
$$ B=\{x \in(-3,3): g \text { is discontinuous at } x\} . $$
Then the value of $|A|+2|B|-|A \cap B|$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
