But the odds of being dead before reaching the 10,000th jump increase with each jump you make. The more times the coin turns up heads, the more likely the next toss will be tails? No, but the odds of getting at least one tail after 100 flips is greater than getting a tail on just one flip. Remember, it only takes one bad jump to kill you and the odds of getting one bad jump is greater if you make 100 jumps than if you make one. Matt
