    Suppose we want person A and person B to sit together. The only way that the 2 people sit together is if person B either sits to either the right or left of person A (& vice versa, considering one situation is enough) Person B has 9 seats to choose but can only sit next to Person A if they choose the 2 seats right next to them so its 2/9

    can someone say what is wrong in this:

    # Enter your code here. Read input from STDIN. Print output to STDOUT
from fractions import Fraction

table=['r','r']+['b' for i in range(8)]
table2 = list(table)
print(table)

count=0
total=0

for i in table:
    table2 = list(table)    
    table2.remove(i)
    for j in table2:
        table3 = list(table)    
        table3.remove(i)
        table3.remove(j)
        for k in table3:
            draw=i+j+k
            #print(draw)
            if any([m in draw for m in ['rrb','brr']]):
                print(draw,[m in draw for m in ['rrb','brr']])
                count+=1
            total+=1
            
print(Fraction(count, total))

    answer: 2/9

    from fractions import Fraction as F

tot = 0
tar = 0

for i in range(10):
    for j in range(10):
        if i != j:
            tot += 1
            if abs(i-j) == 1 or abs(i-j) == 9:
                tar += 1
print(F(tar,tot))

    Answer = 2/9

    from fractions import Fraction

places = [i for i in range(0, 10, 1)]
total = 0
visited = []

for e, i in enumerate(places):
    for j in places[0:e] + places[e+1:]:
        if i == 0:
            if j == 9:
                visited.append([i, j])
            elif j == 1:
                visited.append([i, j])
        elif i == 9:
            if j == 0:
                visited.append([i, j])
            elif j == 8:
                visited.append([i, j])
        else:
            if (i == (j - 1)) or (i == (j + 1)):
                visited.append([i, j])
        
        total += 1

print(Fraction(len(visited), total)) # 2/9
