Nice approach! Only one problem, the min value of OA is actually 3 1 7 . You got the right expression, but there’s a minor error in calculation. Apart from it, your solution is exactly right and elegant.

Let's take an analytical approach:
Let point O = ( 0 , 0 ) and P = ( 0 , r ) , where 0 ≤ r < 3 1 . Since O B 1 = 1 , let's introduce an value α such as B 1 = ( cos α , sin α ) .
Now we can derive other points step-by-step:
O P = ( r , 0 ) , O B 1 = ( cos α , sin α ) P B 1 = O B 1 − O P = ( cos α − r , sin α )
Since A B 1 ⊥ A B 2 , A P = A B 1 + A B 2 , points A , B 1 , B 2 , P form a rectangle. That means P B 1 ⊥ P B 2 . Knowing that we can conclude:
P B 2 = ( − k ⋅ sin α , k ⋅ ( cos α − r ) ) , where k is unknown real number.
To find k we need to derive O B 2 :
O B 2 = O P + P B 2 = ( r − k ⋅ sin α , k ⋅ cos α − k ⋅ r )
Since ∣ ∣ ∣ O B 2 ∣ ∣ ∣ = 1 :
( r − k ⋅ sin α ) 2 + ( k ⋅ cos α − k ⋅ r ) 2 = 1 r 2 − 2 sin α ⋅ k ⋅ r + sin 2 α ⋅ k 2 + cos 2 α ⋅ k 2 − 2 cos α ⋅ k 2 ⋅ r + k 2 ⋅ r 2 = 1 k 2 − 2 cos α ⋅ k 2 ⋅ r + k 2 ⋅ r 2 − 2 sin α ⋅ k ⋅ r = 1 − r 2 k 2 ⋅ ( 1 − 2 cos α ⋅ r + r 2 ) − 2 sin α ⋅ k ⋅ r = 1 − r 2
Let's stop right there and proceed with deriving the point A . Since A B 1 P B 2 is a rectangle:
O A = O B 2 + B 2 A = O B 2 + P B 1 = ( cos α − sin α ⋅ k , sin α + cos α ⋅ k − k ⋅ r )
Finally we can find ∣ ∣ ∣ O A ∣ ∣ ∣ :
∣ ∣ ∣ O A ∣ ∣ ∣ 2 = ( cos α − sin α ⋅ k ) 2 + ( sin α + cos α ⋅ k − k ⋅ r ) 2 ∣ ∣ ∣ O A ∣ ∣ ∣ 2 = cos 2 α − 2 cos α sin α ⋅ k + sin 2 α ⋅ k 2 + sin 2 α + cos 2 α ⋅ k 2 + k 2 ⋅ r 2 + 2 cos α sin α ⋅ k − 2 cos α ⋅ k ⋅ r − 2 cos α ⋅ k 2 ⋅ r ∣ ∣ ∣ O A ∣ ∣ ∣ 2 = 1 + k 2 + k 2 ⋅ r 2 − 2 cos α ⋅ k ⋅ r − 2 cos α ⋅ k 2 ⋅ r ∣ ∣ ∣ O A ∣ ∣ ∣ 2 = 1 + k 2 ⋅ ( 1 − 2 cos α ⋅ r + r 2 ) − 2 sin α ⋅ k ⋅ r
Using the relation we found earlier:
∣ ∣ ∣ O A ∣ ∣ ∣ 2 = 1 + 1 − r 2 = 2 − r 2
∣ ∣ ∣ O A ∣ ∣ ∣ = 2 − r 2 . Note that the distance doesn't depend on the value of α .
That means that:
a = min ∣ ∣ ∣ O A ∣ ∣ ∣ = 2 − ( 3 1 ) 2 = 9 1 7 = 3 1 7 , r → 3 1 b = max ∣ ∣ ∣ O A ∣ ∣ ∣ = 2 − 0 2 = 2 , r = 0
So the answer is ⌊ 1 0 0 0 ( a + b ) ⌋ = 2 7 8 8
