  .25 regardless of how long the game has been going. It doesn't help to ask the king.

  It does not matter which round it is, your chances will always be 1 in 4.

  IDGI. If I play and two fair coins come up heads, I get pizza. Boom, 1 in 4. What do all the other people have to do with it?! EDIT: Unless "getting a call" does not mean "I get to play in a round right now".

  I think in each round the king plays the 2 coin flip for each of the selected candidates, one after the other, with the game ending as soon as the first contestant wins. This will result in 4 coin tosses for the seconds round, 8 in the third and so on. Hence allowed question regarding the round number.
