Expected Value, Linearity & Advanced Probability · Superchallenge problem

In tennis at deuce, a player wins each point independently with probability 35\tfrac35; the game ends when one player has won two more points than the other since deuce. Find the expected number of additional points played.

The answer is a fraction mn\tfrac{m}{n} in lowest terms; find m+nm + n.
