2006 AIME II Problem 10
Seven teams play a soccer tournament in which each team plays every other team exactly once. No ties occur, each team has a 50\% chance of winning each game it plays, and the outcomes of the games are independent. In each game, the winner is awarded a point and the loser gets 0 points. The total points are accumulated to decide the ranks of the teams. In the first game of the tournament, team A beats team B. The probability that team A finishes with more points than team B 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
