HalfAngel and jazz lady takes turns tossing a coin.

Whoever gets the head first is the winner.

If HalfAngel has the first toss, what is the probability that HalfAngel will win?

I am looking for a fraction (i.e., 1/2, etc.).

It's always going to be 50-50 each flip of the coin on the first try, regardless of anyone flipping it after.

A better question is what are the chances that jazz will win by going second?

50/50 because if HalfAngel loses the first toss Jazz wil take the coin and run. I've seen it happen.



:lmao:


Actually I now think 1/3.

I am going to say 1/3. There is a 1/3 chance to lands on heads, 1/3 chance to land on tails, and 1/3 chance to land on the edge.



But your saying 2/3 cause come experts believe you have a 2/3 chance of landing on tails, 2/3 landing on heads, and only a 1/3 chance to land on the edge. Landing on the edge all depends on the thickness of the coin.
