Hi guys!
I know it's poker forum but still I hope someone will help me with a probability calculation in a simple game:
What are the chances that a ball fall to a box on the bottom marked from A to R?
How many combinations there is?
Ball is dropped from the top and each step have 50% chance to go to left or right
Example for two balls with same result:

Thank's for tip
So this is exactly the same as my picture above:
If I get it right...the number of all combinations is to sum lowest line (1+16+120+560...)= 65536 total combinations
For a ball fall into the middle line (12870) it has 19,63806% chance or 1:5.09215
Is this correct?

1) The sum of row n is 2^n, the total number of combinations of n trials with 50/50 occurrence of yes-no, heads-tails, left-right, etc.
2) This can be gotten directly using the binomial distribution.
