The diagram shows a large circular dart board with four smaller shaded circles each internally tangent to the larger circle. Two of the internal circles have half the radius of the large circle, and are, therefore, tangent to each other. The other two smaller circles are tangent to these circles. If a dart is thrown so that it sticks to a point randomly chosen on the dart board, then the probability that the dart sticks to a point in the shaded area is $\dfrac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.
