Let $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ be circles in the plane with centers $O_1$ and $O_2$ and radii $13$ and $10$, respectively. Assume $O_1O_2=2$. Fix a circle $\Omega$ with radius $2$, internally tangent to $\Gamma_1$ at $P$ and externally tangent to $\Gamma_2$ at $Q$ . Let $\omega$ be a second variable circle internally tangent to $\Gamma_1$ at $X$ and externally tangent to $\Gamma_2$ at $Y$.

Suppose Alan, Michael, Kevin, Igor, and Big Rahul are in a running race. It is given that exactly one pair of people tie (for example, two people both get second place), so that no other pair of people end in the same position. Each competitor has equal skill; this means that each outcome of the race, given that exactly two people tie, is equally likely. The probability that Big Rahul gets first place (either by himself or he ties for first) can be expressed in the form $\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m+n$.
