What makes it great for you, Robert?
Terms like "chance" or "probability" may have a connotation of vagueness in our daily speech. However, they have very clear and specific
definitions in mathematics.
Did you know, for example, that the probability of guessing head or tail correctly *three times in a row* is better than 10%?
