Coin Toss game: The First Six Innings.

This is a game I play to pass the time and it is very easy to play.  Each team alternates tossing a coin.  If coin toss result is a head, you get a point and another toss.  If the coin toss is a tail, the turn is over.  Each team gets nine tosses.  The team with the most points win the game.  If the teams are tied after nine tosses, each team gets a turn till the tie is broken.  In the match I will be serializing, Winnipeg is playing Toronto.  Winnipeg is playing Toronto this Sunday for a berth in the Grey Cup.  I play this coin-tossing game hoping to replicate the excitement of this Sunday's football final.

I will be using the coin flipper at http://www.random.org/coins/.

Winnipeg on its first turn gets two heads before getting a tail, so the score is Winnipeg 2, Toronto 0.

Toronto on its first turn gets two heads.  So the score after one turn is Winnipeg 2, Toronto 2.

On their second turns, both Winnipeg and Toronto toss tails.  So the score after two turns is still Winnipeg 2, Toronto 2.

On their third turns, Winnipeg and Toronto again toss tails.  So the score after three turns is still Winnipeg 2, Toronto 2.

On its fourth turn, Winnipeg tosses it fourth straight tail.  Score still Winnipeg 2, Toronto 2.

On its fourth turn, Toronto gets two heads.  Score after four turns is Toronto 4, Winnipeg 2.

On its fifth turn, Winnipeg gets one head.  Score is now Toronto 4, Winnipeg 3.

On its fifth turn,  Toronto tosses a tail.  Score after five turns is Toronto 4, Winnipeg 3.

On its sixth turn, Winnipeg tosses a tail.  Score still Toronto 4, Winnipeg 3.

On its sixth turn, Toronto gets two heads.  Score after six turns is Toronto 6, Winnipeg 3.

I will complete the game in a future blog entry.  Stay tuned.
