At a school fair, you stumble across three children playing a game. The game involves four jars that each contain an equal number of marbles of each of six colors: blue, red, yellow, green, orange, and purple. In a turn, one draws a marble at random from each jar and the object of the game is to draw four marbles of the same color. The four marbles are then returned to their original jars and the turn ends. You observe each of the three children play a turn. The first child draws 2 green marble, 1 blue marbl, and 1 red marble. The second child draws 3 red marbles, and 1 yellow marble. The third child draws 4 blue marbles (and wins). In expectation, the third child has played M times as many rounds of this game as the second child has, and the second child has played N times as many rounds of this game as the first child has. Compute M+N.

You have a function F that computes the product of matrices. If X is MxN matrix and Y is NxK matrix then F(X,Y) is going to output matrix product X*Y and take MxNxK nanoseconds. You need to calculate a product of five matrices, P=A*B*C*D*E. The dimensions of the matrices are as follows: A is 2x100, B is 100x10, C is 10x10, D is 10x100, and E is 100x2. How many nanoseconds does it take to calculate P in the fastest way possible using only function F?
