AIME 1995 Problem 3

  • Paper
  • Answer

Starting at (0,0),(0,0), an object moves in the coordinate plane via a sequence of steps, each of length one. Each step is left, right, up, or down, all four equally likely. Let pp be the probability that the object reaches (2,2)(2,2) in six or fewer steps. Given that pp can be written in the form m/n,m/n, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers, find m+n.m+n.
