He threw it into the ocean and took one of the piles for himself, then went back to sleep. The second musketeer woke up an hour later. He divided the remaining coins into three equal piles, and threw out the one coin that was left over. He took one of the piles and went back to sleep. The third musketeer woke up and divided the remaining coins into three equal piles, threw out the extra coin, and took one pile for himself. The next morning, the three musketeers gathered around to divide the coins into three equal piles. Strangely enough, they had one coin left over this time as well.

But being the cheater he is, he has secretly replaced one of the three die with his own $4$-sided die, such that there is a $1/2$ chance of rolling a $4$, and a $1/6$ chance to roll each number from $1$ to $3$. To play, a random die is chosen with equal probability and rolled. If Nakio guesses the number that is on the die, he wins. Unfortunately for him, Nakio’s friends have an anti-cheating mechanism in place: when the die is picked, they will roll it three times. If each roll lands on the same number, that die is thrown out and one of the two unused dice is chosen instead with equal probability. If Nakio always guesses $4$, the probability that he wins the game can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime. Find $m + n$.
