Question 25

The adjoining figure is a map of part of a city: the small rectangles are blocks and the spaces in between are streets. Each morning a student walks from intersection $A$ to intersection $B,$ always walking along streets shown, always going east or south. For variety, at each intersection where he has a choice, he chooses with probability $\frac12$ (independent of all other choices) whether to go east or south. Find the probability that, on any given morning, he walks through intersection $C.$
