Eric rolls a ten-sided die (with sides labeled $1$ through $10$) repeatedly until it lands on $3, 5$, or $7$. Conditional on all of Eric’s rolls being odd, the expected number of rolls can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m + n$.

Ivan and Kolya play a game, Ivan starts. Initially, the polynomial $x-1$ is written of the blackboard. On one move, the player deletes the current polynomial $f(x)$ and replaces it with $ax^{n+1}-f(-x)-2$, where $\deg(f)=n$ and $a$ is a real root of $f$. The player who writes a polynomial which does not have real roots loses. Can Ivan beat Kolya?
