this answer to your riddle is: the chances depend on how many times you watch the coin flip.

The law of averages, if I have got this right, means that if six monkeys were thrown up in the air forlong enough they would land on their tails about as often as they would land on their --Heads--which even at first glance does not strike one as a particularly rewarding speculation, in either sense, even without the monkeys. I mean, you wouldn't bet on it. I mean I would but you wouldn't. It must be the law of diminishing returns...I feel the spell about to be broken.

As the great Guildenstern once said, "There must have been a moment at the beginning, where we could have said no. Somehow we missed it. Well, we'll know better next time."
