A surgeon goes every day from his house A to his hospital B. He crosses the Black River using two or three bridges depending on the traffic — and his mood.

A terrible thunderstorm hits the scene overnight and each bridge has a 50% chance of being destroyed.

What is the probability P that the surgeon will be able to go from A to B the morning after the thunderstorm?

The same morning, a fishing boat wants to go from X to Y; any destroyed bridge prevents it from passing under. What is the probability Q of the fishing boat going from X to Y after the storm?
