Solving the “Coin Toss Paradox” Riddle

First try solving this puzzle on your own and comment in the post -> The Coin Toss Paradox Riddle

⚠️ The Riddle:

You toss a fair coin 5 times.

What’s the chance you get at least one head?

🧩 Answer?

About 96.875%.

💡 Explanation:

It sounds high — but here’s why:

1. The only way to not get a head is to get tails every time.

2. The chance of tails 5 times in a row is (½)^5 = 3.125%.

3. So the chance of at least one head is 100% - 3.125% = 96.875%.

That’s why even a few tries can almost guarantee success.

🌱 Real-Life Lesson?

Sometimes, odds are way more in your favor than you think.

Like applying to jobs — each “no” brings you closer to a “yes.”

Keep tossing that coin. 🎲✨
