No , I really didn't know that :-)

Are you sure you chose the right model when doing your calculations ?

Sure some certain outcome like 99 tails and the other one ( I don't remember the
name of at the moment ) arriving at 43rd throw are equal to 100 tails but this
is not exactly the question here , is it ?
