How the hell do you get something like that, there is only two sides to a coin. You can't get a 1 out of 3 chance on something with two outcomes.

Imagination!

Spoiler

hopefully the gif shows lol

rC · December 05, 2014, 11:53:17 AM

No shit, sherlock. Everything either happens

Or it doesn't

50/50

Mad Max · December 05, 2014, 12:05:14 PM

Depends how many times you've flipped the coin.

The more number of times you've flipped the coin, the closer it comes to 50/50

Duh.

g💚jira · December 05, 2014, 12:16:34 PM

I refuse to pay attention to this thread

Turkey/PirPir I advise you do the same

[It is also objectively 1/3 and you're terrible at Bayesian probability if you think otherwise]

Elegiac · December 05, 2014, 12:23:27 PM

Coins usually come up tails.

You didn't specify the amount of flips, so I can simply flip heads to tails back to heads again to constitute as the two flips needed, meaning it ends up where I started from and thus eliminating any chance
