I'm actually interested in seeing the math behind this.. like what actual is the statistical probability of this happening? It has to be far below 1% I'd imagine

It's in the trillions.

The odds of getting the same result 50 times in a row is 1.12 quadrillion.

60 times in a row is over 1000 quadrillion

70 times in a row is over a million quadrillion

80 times in a row is over a billion quadrillion

90 times in a row is a over a trillion quadrillion

And 100 times in a row is over a quadrillion quadrillion.

Only 153900 flip to go.

Even 100 flips in a row is an actual mathematical impossibility.

Every 100 flips adds another 15 zeros on the end, so by the time you're at 500 flips the odds would be over 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 to 1
