AIME 2014a Problem 11

  • Paper
  • Answer

A token starts at the point (0,0)(0,0) of an xyxy-coordinate grid and then makes a sequence of six moves. Each move is 1 unit in a direction parallel to one of the coordinate axes. Each move is selected randomly from the four possible directions and independently of the other moves. The probability the token ends at a point on the graph of ∣y∣=∣x∣|y|=|x| is mn\frac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm+n.
