Thanks guys. I’m seeing people saying it’s 1/1024 with is almost .10% or one tenth of a percent. But then I see some people saying it’s 17% chance.

Just to clarify, I’m asking what’s the percent possibility that you can have the EXACT same sequence of H/T in the EXACT same order as the last 10 flips.

Would love some more clarification please. Thanks!
