ok. but then you have a 50% chance to hit the dead node.

I can't resolve gedasymbols.org at the moment. Timeout.

BTW I've seen professional data centers go down with a blackout.
Shouldn't happen, but the 20kV -> 400V power transformer of the whole
data center "exploded" due to a short circuit somewhere. Peaces of wire
all around the transformer, because the secondary was un-winded.
The power generators didn't start up properly, so when the UPS'
batteries were empty, the lights went out.
