When you flip a coin to make a decision there's an equal chance of getting heads and tails. What if you flipped two coins repeatedly so that one option would win as soon as two heads showed up in a row on that coin and one option would win as soon as heads was immediately followed by tails on the other? Would each option still have an equal chance? Po-Shen Loh describes the counterintuitive math behind this question.
