There are 5 computers. For each pair of computers, a coin is flipped. If it is heads, then a link is built between the computers; if it is tails, there's no link between the two. Every message that a computer receives is automatically sent to every computer to which it is linked. Find the probability that every computer is able to receive messages from every other computer.
 
And what are your thoughts on the problem? What kind of connectivity must occur in order for all the computers are able to receive messages from any other?

Comment: This seems more of a graph theory question than strictly a probability.
There are many techniques to determine if a graph on five nods is connect.
