On the dart board shown in the Figure, the outer circle has radius$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)63$. 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?
