comment Probability of running out of tosses
you are using $n$ with two meanings: the number of tosses and the probability of the first toss (1/n). Could you clarify?

comment How to check if a function is minimum to functional?
No, you can find a counterexample with a $C^2$ function (just smooth out the angle point)

comment Brachistochrone problem
You should see that if a sequence of functions approximates a function with a vertical part, then the functional approximates the cost of the curve with the vertical part.

comment Brachistochrone problem
First of all: how do you prove that your solution is the minimum among functions?

comment Brachistochrone problem
If the curve is not differentiable how can you define the motion of the point? The velocity is constrained on the tangent line...

comment Is this a valid proof to show $\frac{n^5}{2^n}$ diverges?
$n^2 > 2^n$ is false for large $n$

comment How to minimize the length of a curve on $S^2$
This is a difficult task, you should explain what are your knowleges. Are you studying for some course?
