Problem Statement

A set of nn standard dice are shaken and randomly placed in a straight line. If n<2rn < 2r and r<sr < s, then the probability that there will be a string of at least rr, but not more than ss, consecutive 11's can be written as P6s+2\frac{P}{6^{s+2}}. Find an explicit expression for PP.
