The numbers 1,2,…,201,2, \ldots, 20 are put into a hat. Claire draws two numbers from the hat uniformly at random, a<ba<b, and then puts them back into the hat. Then, William draws two numbers from the hat uniformly at random, c<dc<d. Let NN denote the number of integers nn that satisfy exactly one of a≤n≤ba \leq n \leq b and c≤n≤dc \leq n \leq d. Compute the probability NN is even.
