Our problem is NOT the same as "last time head, next time still 50-50 head-tail". It is "last time head, then what's under.". In the case of coin tossing, the answer obviously depends on what the first outcome is (i.e. depends on the fact that the top is head). It is slightly different in our problem to that the answer has a non-100% probability. Hao-Nhien Vu (pur-ee!vu (pur-ee!norris if pur-ee!vu is terminated (sometime this week)))
