Question 23
Three balls are randomly and independently tossed into bins numbered with the positive integers so that for each ball, the probability that it is tossed into bin $i$ is $2^{-i}$ for $i=1,$ $2,$ $3,$ $\ldots.$ More than one ball is allowed in each bin. The probability that the balls end up evenly spaced in distinct bins is $\dfrac{p}{q},$ where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. (For example, the balls are evenly spaced if they are tossed into bins $3,$ $17,$ and $10.$) What is $p+q?$
