2001 AIME I Problem 15
The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are randomly written on the faces of a regular octahedron so that each face contains a different number. The probability that no two consecutive numbers, where 8 and 1 are considered to be consecutive, are written on faces that share an edge is m/n, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find m + n.
Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
