I am saying your math does not apply in this situation

Answer my question. If you flip a coin ten times, how often will you end up with no heads from the ten flips?

Depends on the coin, a half dollar is a teeny bit heavier on the heads side, the odds are 51.3 or something like that

You still didn't answer my question. How often, after ten flips, will you not see any heads?

But your point is well taken. In answer to your impossible/possible statement 1% is pretty much impossible

Quin, I never said I would quit, when you prevaricate you showcase your lack of higher education. We are trying to be civil here. 

You said you'd quit. Quit spending. When you assume my meaning, you showcase your lack of higher education. We are trying to be civil here. We'd never resort to demanding people bet their lives over this issue, would we?

That's a different point that I'll argue with later, but. Answer my question. How often will you get no heads after ten flips?

As I said, excluding a half dollar, roughly zero times will you see no heads

Okay, now how often will you see no heads after five flips?

Well, you remind me of the old commercial for tootsie pops, how many licks does take to get to the center the boy says to wise old owl, the licks the pop 3 times and then crunches it in its mouth and says "3"

I just flipped a penny 5 tmes and got 3 heads so I guess that means for the rest of time anyone that flips a penny will get heads 60% of the time, so it is said, so it is written

You continue to not answer my questions. How often will you get no heads after five flips?

I just told you i got 3 head so for the rest of time all coin flips are 60% heads, from that you can infer that at no time will you get zero heads

Don't be facetious. I'm asking you a geniune question. How often will you get no heads after five flips?

I gave you my answer and am sticking to it, I will not answer a question like that but I will try, if in fact it is 5 out of ten the 5 flips would be 2.5 out of five you would get heads correct, so zero skunks would be the answer to your question. But we have to go to a laboratory and and have 1000 test subjects flip the EXACT some coins (denomination, weight, content, quality and year) 1000 times each and graph the results

Actually 1000 people flipping the coin wouldn't work because people flip differntly don't they?

Do you agree that from five flips of the exact same coin, that the number of heads and tails may be different each time you flip five times?

Yes

Do you agree that it is possible you could flip the coin five times and get no heads?

I believe that almost anything is possible, but is it probable? No
