Overview

Penney's game, named after its inventor Walter Penney, is a binary (head/tail) sequence generating game between two or more players. Player A selects a sequence of heads and tails (of length 3 or larger), and shows this sequence to player B. Player B then selects another sequence of heads and tails of the same length. Subsequently, a fair coin is tossed until either player A's or player B's sequence appears as a consecutive subsequence of the coin toss outcomes. The player whose sequence appears first wins. Here we have a clone of this game that I wrote during coronavirus quarantine days.

ℹ️ In playing with the computer, the computer selects its sequence randomly

ℹ️ For details about how the winning probability is calculated, you can visit Penney’s game between many players paper
