A long time ago when I played with Pokemon cards, I remember a Geodude card saying "Flip a coin until you get tails. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads."
What would be the probability that the attack does more than 60 damage?
What would be the average damage of the attack if the attack were repeated indefinitely and its damage measured for each trial.
The problem popped into my mind as I am reading on probability, but any thoughts on how to solve this problem? I think of geometric probability distributions, but can't quite establish a solution.
