Lily pads in a row are numbered $0$ through $11$. A frog starts at pad $0$, while snakes occupy pads $3$ and $6$. From pad $N$ it independently jumps to $N+1$ or $N+2$, each with probability $\dfrac12$. What is the probability that it reaches pad $10$ without ever landing on $3$ or $6$?
  1. $\frac{15}{256}$
  2. $\frac1{16}$
  3. $\frac{15}{128}$
  4. $\frac18$
  5. $\frac14$
