To clear up what everyone said: getting 5 heads/5 tails is more likely than 10 heads. BUT getting 5 heads/5 tails in this particular order is just as likely as getting 10 heads. Therefore, same probability.

[quote] MusicNSmex : The head's side is slightly heavier, and more occurring. [/quote] Noooo Tails never fails ! Also, I'd say they are both impossible (to me :P) There's like what, less than 1% chance of getting that sequence? I wouldn't have the strength to keep going.
