Lily pads 1,2,3, lie in a row on a pond. A frog makes a sequence of jumps starting on pad 1. From any pad k the frog jumps to either pad k+1 or pad k+2 chosen randomly with probability 12 and independently of other jumps. The probability that the frog visits pad 7 is pq, where p and q are relatively prime positive integers. Find p+q.
