I used the state-based solution that also happened to be the official one.
This is so much nicer!

why is A separated from BA in the end game ?

i came here to find out how to do the calculation and then found out at 4:12 that it was skipped :(
i know you can "just find the value of p", but i was hoping there was a generic way to do this because i'm trying to solve a similar case which can happen in a million different setups....

isn't BA similar to CA? i mean in both cases the last A is what is important.

I got 110. Your m+n isn't a whole number, and I don't think your work is correct.
P(Sum 12)= 1/36
P(consecutive Sum 7s)= (1/6)(1/6)
E(Time to Sum 12)= 1/P = 36 rolls.
E(Time to 7, 7)= 36 first roll, 37 second roll = 37 rolls.
P(12 before 7, 7)= 37/73.
M+N= 110.
