  • Answer

Kelvin and 15 other frogs are in a meeting, for a total of 16 frogs. During the meeting, each pair of distinct frogs becomes friends with probability 12\frac{1}{2}. Kelvin thinks the situation after the meeting is cool if for each of the 16 frogs, the number of friends they made during the meeting is a multiple of 4 . Say that the probability of the situation being cool can be expressed in the form ab\frac{a}{b}, where aa and bb are relatively prime. Find aa.
