And unless I screwed up the math, there are only 32 different outcomes, and more than 40 people have posted, so unless there are a lot of repeats, anyone who goes after me is essentially wasting a good 20 seconds of their time.
Yeah, I think there are 240...

Wouldn't it be 5 Factorial times 2?

it wont be 5!*2 bc you have only 2 things to pick from and you repeat them. if you had the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 and you had to put them in an order then that wouldve been 5! But this ones different. 2^5 is the correct calculation. and 32 does include all possible outcomes. (This made me feel like a teacher lol)

Congratz Furrukh!

And a question for the team, how long did it take for you to find it lol?

Oh, and about the math Idk anymore. I did probability start of last year, wont have to do it till the end of Calc this year :D I see what I mixed up

I just wrote out all the possible outcomes, and yeah, they would begin repeating after 32.

Pretty sure the contest is on a First Come First Served basis.

Unless you count the fact that it can land on it's side, or not land at all :eek:
