Consider 2 players, of which 1 has one more coin than player 2. Both throw all their coins simultaneously and observe the number of heads.
If all coins are fair what is the probability that player 1 obtains more coins than player 2?
Equal a priori states same probability over all coins, 1/2. And assuming there distinguishable my gut tells me its a half. However, i am much more enclined to agree with solid mathematics, of which i have none..
Thank you
