The answer depends on what a winner is: 1 H?, a run of 3 H?
If the winner is one H, the probability of getting exactly one winner - no more no fewer - is 5/32.
The probability of tossing two heads in two coins is 0.25.

1/2
50%
The probability is 3/8 = 0.375
3/8
3/8 * * * * * That is the probability of getting EXACTLY 1H. The prob of getting one (or more) head is 7/8

is it 50% or 100% dang, i just confused myself. what if you toss 3 coins all at the same time... what's the probability of getting a head then, is it > 100% ? Doh!
The probability is 1/16.
The probability of getting two tails in the first two is 1/4. And it does not matter how many more times the coins are tossed after the first two tosses.
1/4 if they are tossed only once.
