Problem 22 (2021 AMC 10B)

AMC 10Hard

From module Inclusion-Exclusion

Problem

Ang, Ben, and Jasmin each have 5 blocks, colored red, blue, yellow, white, and green; and there are 5 empty boxes. Each of the people randomly and independently of the other two people places one of their blocks into each box. The probability that at least one box receives blocks all of the same color is mn\frac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. What is m+nm + n?
