1983 AIME Problem 7
Twenty five of King Arthur's knights are seated at their customary round table. Three of them are chosen - all choices being equally likely - and are sent off to slay a troublesome dragon. Let P be the probability that at least two of the three had been sitting next to each other. If P is written as a fraction in lowest terms, what is the sum of the numerator and denominator?
Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
