This chapter takes a classic puzzle about coin-flipping and extends it to a roulette wheel. It examines Penney's Game, a two-player game played via the flipping of a fair coin. Player I picks a sequence of heads (H) or tails (T) of length three (it can be any agreed-on length, but in most literature it is length three) and makes his choice known. Player II then states her own sequence of length three. An umpire then tosses the coin until one of the two sequences appears as a consecutive subsequence of the coin flips. The player whose sequence appears first is the winner. |
