Gadgets in percolation

Abstract: Suppose that, due to a marathon, each street in Los Angeles has a 1/2 chance of being closed. With nothing better to do, your n friends, who live in different parts of the city, try to figure out which subgroups can still assemble. We explore the possible distributions over the set of resulting partitions based on computer experiments and discuss the known inequalities.
