This Platonic idea that just because it works on theory, therefore reality works just the same, is an old misunderstanding.<p>But before I criticize these &quot;attempts&quot; at solving this problem by these deft mathematicians, I&#x27;d like to see a single video example of 10 coin tosses all coming up either heads or tails.<p>After we can all see that this can happen, then we can start worrying about how much money a casino in the real world would charge for such game being played in the real world, by real players, with real coins.<p>It is amazing that out of all mathematicians listed on Wikipedia that attempted this, only one considered actually sampling (supposedly simulated coin tosses).<p>This can be easily simulated, but they&#x27;d rather stay within the comfy confines of calculation, so that presumably they can publish more papers.
