TED-ED: The coin flip conundrum - Po-Shen Loh

The video explores a hypothetical coin flip contest between the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, to determine who would fly their airplane first. It delves into the probability of different coin flip outcomes, specifically comparing the heads/tails and heads/heads scenarios. The video explains how Wilbur has an advantage due to the probability calculations, which show that heads/tails takes fewer flips on average than heads/heads. The video concludes with a historical note that, despite Wilbur winning the coin flip, Orville made aviation history.

What conclusion can be drawn about the fairness of the coin flip contest based on the analysis provided?

What was the outcome of the contest between Orville and Wilbur, and how did it affect aviation history?
