2015 AIME I Problem 5
In a drawer Sandy has 5 pairs of socks, each pair a different color. On Monday, Sandy selects two individual socks at random from the 10 socks in the drawer. On Tuesday Sandy selects 2 of the remaining 8 socks at random, and on Wednesday two of the remaining 6 socks at random. The probability that Wednesday is the first day Sandy selects matching socks is \frac{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
