gollark: This actually reminds me of my friend's ongoing thing where they put "DM me a random integer between 0 and 10" in their Discord status, and collated the responses.
gollark: Have you *asked* people this? That seems like a weird response.
gollark: You have to look at the number of possible outcomes *which you're interested in*, and their probability.
gollark: = 4/8 = 1/2
gollark: P(3 heads) is just 1/8, P(2 heads) is 1/8 * 3 = 3/8 (there are 3 outcomes (HHT, HTH, THH) producing it and they each have 1/8 probability), so add those.
