Wait... re-reading the question you didn't say you got heads first, you just said that you got it at least once... Yeah, Sebur was right. TH counts, so 1/3.

My last comment was ambiguous, I'm rewording it

Trick question:

Let's say I throw two balanced dimes and I get head at least once. What are the probabilities that the other dime also got head?

Golden rule of roleplaying: never trust dice.

Aka 90% chance that the other dime will always get tails.

I think he meant 2/3 (only 1/3 is HT).

The other dime also being tail is TT, so 1/3.

Looking closer, yes, the only choice is 1/3
1x heads for sure, + a 1 in 2 chance for the second.

Burkingam · « **Reply #14026 on:** March 25, 2014, 03:35:17 AM »

You really gotta think logically about it though. Me too at first my gut reaction was 1/2. I bet we could design a gambling game using this trick and fool a ton of people.

I thought we were counting heads: {HH, HT, TH}

No they both have to be head. Stop trying to confuse me.

I was wrong, I admit it. Forgive me, math hath eluded thyne thought processes for many a year.
Besides, I'm at work and only thought about that for like five seconds.

WAIT! I think it might be 3/2
Explain later.

Alright, thinking about it, its likely 3/2.

There's two dimes, you throw them once each. That's two chances to get heads.
The likelihood one of those two throws is heads is 100%, thus we have 1/2 so far. (one head, from one throw)
Now the other throw has two options, one if them heads(1/2) and when we do shit to that, it becomes ... Fuck, this worked in my head earlier.

Edit: ah yes, one guaranteed heads, two more possibilities to get heads. 3 possibilities from two throws.

Lol. There is something in the air that turns all of this calculation to naught. Has nobody been reading the random number god article?

If you guys are bored, here's a Hardcore Barb going crazy-wield. He's at level 67, almost 68 right now. I have to go to sleep soon. I haven't thought of that spec he has. I'm gonna try it out later on.
