Starting at 
an object moves in the coordinate plane via a sequence of steps, each of length one. Each step is left, right, up, or down, all four equally likely. Let 
be the probability that the object reaches 
in six or fewer steps. Given that can be written in the form where and are relatively prime positive integers, find
