1 of the Final Round question: there is a token, which works as the following: you can pay XX$ to buy it, and then propose a bet. If you wins the bet, then that's it, and you can keep the token and use it in next round. If you lose the bet, you can use the token to take back half of your money. How much is that token worth based on the chips both side have on that day?

Pretty standard question that has been asked before... keep flipping a coin until a winning combination appears (either HHT or HTT). Which strategy would you pick given the choice and why. Find the probabilities of winning associated with each strategy.
