THT vs THH If you are looking for pattern #2, and you roll THT, you can start over at the third flip. Thus THTHH finds the second pattern. If you are looking for pattern #1, and you roll THH, you have to flip a forth time to start over. I'm not a mathematician, so that's probably not right anyway. Obviously, he's looking for some kind of "trick".
