Problem 1
Many states use a sequence of three letters followed by a sequence of three digits as their standard license-plate pattern. Given that each three-letter three-digit arrangement is equally likely, the probability that such a license plate will contain at least one palindrome (a three-letter arrangement or a three-digit arrangement that reads the same left-to-right as it does right-to-left) is 
, where 
and 
are relatively prime positive integers. Find 
.
Problem 2
Problem 3
It is given that 
where 
and 
are positive integers that form an increasing geometric sequence and 
is the square of an integer. Find
