RE: Frustration in the Cattery! (Let's rant ;))
The odds stated for a "run of six" are correct .. if the goal is a "run of six".
But the goal is a "run of N Heads, followed by a Tails".
So the odds are off by a factor of 2.
The odds of a "run of six Males, followed by a Female" are 1 in 128, not 1 in 64.
