Dude! What? :

The IRONy that you made that steel joke

Kye :

I don’t understand the maths here. How is it not 0.5?

Ysn :

Do the maths behind it

burrito_whisperer :

What are the start conditions? Always starting with heads up or tails up? Mixed?

Cheddar Goblin :

You can actually find a better strategy than any specific strategy: take strategy XYZ, and ~YXY is at least double as likely as XYZ sometimes up to seven times as likely. In this example, TTH can be beaten by taking ~T (which is heads) followed by TT, which gives you HTT. This is an example of a nontransitive game, no one strategy is better than all the others and can always be beaten. Check out Penny’s Game on Wikipedia for more info.

Howie Hua :

Howie exciting!

user7374758493 :

if you get HH, HT, or TH with your first two flips you'll get HTT first. if you get TT with your first two flips, you'll get TTH first. So it's trivially 3:1 odds that you'll get HTT before TTH
