Jan 7	comment	Consecutive Coin Toss with static tosses Im still not sure
Jan 7	comment	Consecutive Coin Toss with static tosses so the only thing that changes is the count of how many flips are left?
Jan 7	comment	Consecutive Coin Toss with static tosses and with M = 1, `2 + 0.5 * 0 + 0.5 * 14` which is 9 right?
Jan 7	comment	Consecutive Coin Toss with static tosses Its supposed to be 8 based on the examples but when I calculate it I get 8.5. Here is my calculation: `1 + 0.5 * 1 + 0.5 * 14`
Jan 7	comment	Consecutive Coin Toss with static tosses My last calculation seems wrong, the number should be lower. I understand it when it comes to M = 1 but when it gets higher I don't know what to do.
Jan 7	comment	Consecutive Coin Toss with static tosses so `1+0.514 = 8` is correct for N = 3, M = 1 and `1+0.514+0.5*8 = 12` for N = 3 and M = 2?

Jan 7	comment	Consecutive Coin Toss with static tosses Thank you, could you do this example: `N = 3, M = 2` so I can see if this formula is expanded?
Jan 7	comment	Consecutive Coin Toss with static tosses I know how to do this part, the confusing part is the calculation: `1 + (0.5 * 0 + 0.5 * 6) = 4.0` due to already having 1 heads.
