In the Banana Country, only Mr Decent always tells the truth and only Mr Joke always tells lies. Everyone else has a probability of $p$ to tell a lie. One day, Mr Decent has decided to run for the President and told his decision to the first person who in turn told this to the second person. The second person then told this to the third person, and so on, till the $n^{th}$ person who told this news to Mr Joke. No one has been told this news twice in this process. Finally, Mr Joke announced Mr Decent's decision to everyone. What is the probability that Mr Joke's statement agrees with Mr Decent's intention?
