What are the Chances?

If you tossed a coin 10 times in a row, how surprised would you be if it came up heads every time?  This is the same as 10 people all tossaing a coin together and all getting heads.

Most people would be pretty surprised, it would only happens about once in every 1000 times.

At the midnight at the very start of 2008 we started a computer generating groups of virtual people all tossing coins at the same time ten times a minute.  The groups are all sizes from just one person to 30 people, all tossing a coin at the same time!  We have recorded the results.  Click here to find out how many times all the members of a group have tossed heads at the same time!
