I think I don't get it... since it's binary, it can always be guessed in two attempts?

Yes. You can still try to get it in one attempt.

  Odds in one attempt: 1 in 32 Odds in two attempts: 1 in 1

    Ooops: You won! You guessed 01111 in 4 attempts!

      Well yeah and a fair coin has P(heads) == P(tails) == 0 for someone who eats it.

    Your odds add up to more than 1.

      Odds of getting it within 2 attempts is 1. Odds of getting it on exactly the second attempt is 31/32

      Probabilities sum to 1.0. Odds don't sum.

  That's pretty good, considering they give you 110 tries

I’m glad I figured that out after my first attempt. I feel smart lol.
