A posterior formula that reproduces both point masses of a two-point prior

Suppose given θ\theta, the random variable X follows a normal distribution with mean θ\theta and variance 1. Let the prior density of θ\theta be Bernoulli with parameter 1/21/2 (i.e. θ∈{0,1}\theta\in \{0,1\} each with prior probability 1/21/2). Then the posterior distribution of θ\theta is:
