	Our problem is NOT the same as "last time head, next time still
50-50 head-tail". It is "last time head, then what's under.". In the case
of coin tossing, the answer obviously depends on what the first outcome
is (i.e. depends on the fact that the top is head). It is slightly different
in our problem to that the answer has a non-100% probability.
