  • Paper
  • Answer

Twenty seven unit cubes are painted orange on a set of four faces so that two non-painted faces share an edge. The 27 cubes are randomly arranged to form a 3×3×33\times 3 \times 3 cube. Given the probability of the entire surface area of the larger cube is orange is paqbrc,\frac{p^a}{q^br^c}, where p,q,p,q, and rr are distinct primes and a,b,a,b, and cc are positive integers, find a+b+c+p+q+r.a+b+c+p+q+r.
