I think it boils down to the thirder position.
P(monday,heads)=0,33 since P(heads)=0,5 and P(monday)=0,67.
This is because we are sampling awakenings, not coin tosses or beauties.
It's like betting on a coin toss, but with a side twist that the bet is evaluated twice (no new toss) when the coin is tails. Hence a majority of evaluations will be on tails:
Guess, Coin, Profit
H, H, +1
H, T, -2
T, H, -1
T, T, +2
Analysis for betting heads: average is +1 + -2 = -1
Betting tails: average is -1 + +2 = +1.
I'd bet tails!
