First write down six sequences of heads and tails that you might expect to occur on five coin flips (e.g., HTHHT). Then take an actual coin and create another six sequences by flipping the coin five times for each sequence. Next go to the following link at Chance News and read the article on randomness. How does it compare with the sequences you predicted and the sequences you actually obtained. (In that article don’t get too hung up on the idea of writing the shortest computer program. I don’t know what he’s talking about either.)
