For any $n>0$, the shape $S_{n}$ is formed by adjoining 9 copies of $S_{n-1}$ in a $3 \times 3$ grid, and then removing the center copy. Let $a_{n}$ be the expected value of $\left|x-x^{\prime}\right|+\left|y-y^{\prime}\right|$, where $(x, y)$ and $\left(x^{\prime}, y^{\prime}\right)$ are two points chosen randomly within $S_{n}$. There exist relatively prime positive integers $a$ and $b$ such that $$\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{a_{n}}{3^{n}}=\frac{a}{b}$$ Compute $100 a+b$. ## Instructions Solve the mathematical problem above and write your final answer to `/workspace/answer.txt`. **Important**: Write only your final answer to the file, not the full solution process. ### Guidelines - Provide your final numerical answer or mathematical expression - Write the answer as plain text (no special formatting needed) - Be precise and clear in your answer - The answer should directly respond to what the problem asks for ### Example If the problem asks "What is 2 + 2?", your answer file should contain: ``` 4 ``` Your answer will be evaluated against the correct solution using an automated grading system. ``` --- Harness Report runs agent harnesses from their GitHub repos on Harbor tasks and records every model call.
