$480$ $1$ cm unit cubes are used to build a block measuring $6$ cm by $8$ cm by $10$ cm. A tiny ant then chews his way in a straight line from one vertex of the block to the furthest vertex. How many cubes does the ant pass through? The ant is so tiny that he does not "pass through" cubes if he is merely passing through where their edges or vertices meet.

Construct a geometric gure in a sequence of steps. In step $1$, begin with a $4\times 4$ square. In step $2$, attach a $1\times 1$ square onto the each side of the original square so that the new squares are on the outside of the original square, have a side along the side of the original square, and the midpoints of the sides of the original square and the attached square coincide. In step $3$, attach a $\frac14\times  \frac14$ square onto the centers of each of the $3$ exposed sides of each of the $4$ squares attached in step $2$. For each positive integer $n$, in step $n + 1$, attach squares whose sides are $\frac14$ as long as the sides of the squares attached in step n placing them at the centers of the $3$ exposed sides of the squares attached in step $n$. The diagram shows the gure after step $4$. If this is continued for all positive integers $n$, the area covered by all the squares attached in all the steps is $\frac{p}{q}$ , where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p + q$. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/2/1/d963460373b56906e93c4be73bc6a15e15d0d6.png[/img]
