2007 AMC 8 Problem 25
On the dart board shown in the figure, the outer circle has radius 6 and the inner circle has a radius of 3. Three radii divide each circle into three congruent regions, with point values shown. The probability that a dart will hit a given region is proportional to the area of the region. When two darts hit this board, the score is the sum of the point values in the regions. What is the probability that the score is odd?
