Coin Flipping Robot
- jonsen 6y agoNice puzzle and an even nicer solution, yes. If anyone is interested I solved it this way: SPOILER BELOW HERE! Over time each coin will do a sequence of head - tail - x tails - head - tail - x tails ... where x is determined by chance. Flipping a coin repeatedly the number of tails to expect before a head is 1 tail. So on average the sequence of each coin is H - T - T - H - T - T ... i.e. when stabilized 1/3 of the coins are heads up and 2/3 are tails up.
