Maths Labyrinth: Coin Flip Answer

“You avoided the Minotaur and now have another chance”

Answer: 1/11 – With no information, there are 16 equally likely outcomes from 4 coin flips (Head=H, Tails=T).

HHHH, HHHT, HHTH, HTHH, THHH, HHTT, HTTH, TTHH, HTHT, THTH, THHT, HTTT, THTT, TTHT, TTTH, TTTT. 

Given that there are at least 2 tails, only 11 of these are possible so the probability of TTTT changes to 1/11.
