Bill, Bob, and Bo each pick a real number between 1 and 6, inclusive. The probability that the sum of the squares of their three numbers is less than or equal to 20 can be expressed in the form \(\frac{a}{b \pi}\) , where a and b are both positive integers. What is a-b?

The probability is 5/(3*pi), so a - b = 5 - 3 = 2.
