Question 15

A $3 \times 3$ square is partitioned into $9$ unit squares. Each unit square is painted either white or black with each color being equally likely, chosen independently and at random. The square is then rotated $90^\circ$ clockwise about its center, and every white square in a position formerly occupied by a black square is painted black. The colors of all other squares are left unchanged. What is the probability that the grid is now entirely black?
  1. $\dfrac{49}{512}$
  2. $\dfrac{7}{64}$
  3. $\dfrac{121}{1024}$
  4. $\dfrac{81}{512}$
  5. $\dfrac{9}{32}$
