Kathy has $5$ red cards and $5$ green cards. She shuffles the $10$ cards and lays out $5$ of the cards in a row in a random order. She will be happy if and only if all the red cards laid out are adjacent and all the green cards laid out are adjacent. For example, card orders RRGGG, GGGGR, or RRRRR will make Kathy happy, but RRRGR will not. The probability that Kathy will be happy is $\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

Michael the Mouse stands in a circle with $11$ other mice. Eshaan the Elephant walks around the circle, squashing every other non-squashed mouse he comes across. If it takes Eshaan $1$ minute ($60$ seconds) to complete one circle and he walks at a constant rate, what is the maximum length of time in seconds from when the first mouse is squashed that Michael can survive?
