Random Coin Flips 3 - Answer

Answer: HTT will take fewer flips (average 8, HTH an average 10)

After you throw an HT, the odds of winning either in the next throw are 50%. But if you lose playing the HTT game, then you've just thrown an H and you are 1/3 into the pattern again. See http://ceki.blogspot.com/2008/08/hth-or-htt.html
