problem

Ainsley and Buddy play a game where they repeatedly roll a standard fair six-sided die. Ainsley wins if two multiples of 3 in a row are rolled before a non-multiple of 3 followed by a multiple of 3, and Buddy wins otherwise. If the probability that Ainsley wins is ab\frac{a}{b} for relatively prime positive integers aa and bb, compute 100a+b100a+b.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Ainsley and Buddy play a game where they repeatedly roll a standard fair six-sided die. Ainsley wins if two multiples of 3 in a row are rolled before a non-multiple of 3 followed by a multiple of 3, and Buddy wins otherwise. If the probability that Ainsley wins is (a)/(b) for relatively prime positive integers a and b, compute 100a+b.

Ainsley and Buddy play a game where they repeatedly roll a standard fair six-sided die. Ainsley wins if two multiples of 3 in a row are rolled before a non-multiple of 3 followed by a multiple of 3, and Buddy wins otherwise. If the probability that Ainsley wins is $\frac{a}{b}$ for relatively prime positive integers $a$ and $b$, compute $100a+b$.
