Let a random n×n (0,1)-matrix have entries which are 1 (with probability p) or 0 (with probability q=1-p) and numbers are assigned to the edges of a grid. A b-cluster is an isolated group of b adjacent (i.e., horizontally or vertically connected) 1s. Let C_n be the total number of "bond" clusters, then

K_B(p)=lim_(n->infty)(<C_n>)/(n^2)

exists. The analytic value is known for p=1/2,

K_B(1/2)=3/2sqrt(3)-(41)/(16)=0.0355762...

(OEIS A086269; Ziff et al. 1997).
