Eight ants start at different corners of a cube. Suddenly each ant moves to an adjacent corner at random. That is, each and walks along one of its three adjacent edges with equal chance. What is the probability that none of the ants collide?
Reduce the probability to the lowest fraction and report it as two space-separated integers (numerator denominator). For example, if the probability is 6/18 report "1 3" without quotes.
