In Poker terms, I fold

It is impossible for a coin to land the same way 100 times unless it is faulty. The probability is so minisule that it is impossible.

Otherwise, the word impossible has no meaning.

*Actually only 1.2 nonillion times will be required on average to see this result (1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376) - get flipping.

Prove it  ;D

Its not impossible as however slim there is a chance of it happening. Its simple maths.

2 possibilities 100 times the same result = 2^100:1

So I presume the answer (without checking) is Dave"s 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376

Huh....if something is impossible it means that the probability is 0.

If the probability is miniscule it has a positive probability (regardless of how small) and thus IS possible.

Impossible is a binary state..it either is or it isn"t.
