I would tell you that it’s either a quarter with two heads or you’re lying to me.

If you flip a fair coin every 6 seconds the probability of coming up with all heads in 5 minutes is something like 10^-16 - next to impossible.

A fair quarter would have a 50% probability of coming up either heads or tails, regardless of what it’s previous flipping results were.

It’s independent of previous tosses.

And this is what I wanted from you.

Just because the chair, the bridge, the wife, etal acted a certain way in the past, is no indication on how they'll perform tomorrow.
