Problem - 1871
At the school's carnival, one game featured this unique square dartboard with five smaller, shaded squares, shown here. The length of a side of the square dartboard is 4 times the length of a side of any of the five congruent, shaded squares. To win a prize, a player's dart has to land in a shaded region. If a player's dart randomly hits the dartboard, what is the probability of her winning a prize? Express your answer as a common fraction.
