"The typical American retires at age 62. One Minneapolis-based Millennial plans to shave more than 20 years off that average and retire by age 37.

"The Money Wizard," who goes by the pen name Sean and asks to remain anonymous, is well on his way to early retirement.

He opened his first investment account at age 16. By age 25, his net worth hit six figures. Now, at age 26, he has nearly $150,000 in the bank, thanks to smart saving and investing habits and a dash of good luck. ..."

When are Past Returns Indicative of Future Returns?: A Brief Exploration Through the Lens of Coin Flipping

"You are presented with two coins, one is fair, and the other has a 60% chance of coming up heads. Unfortunately, you don't know which is which.

What number of flips would you want to see performed in parallel on the two coins to give yourself a 95% chance of identifying the biased one? Please just give it a quick guess, without working it out on a pad of paper. You need to hit 'answer' in order to read the rest of the note. ..."
 
I was pretty close Q but about 20% low. Very cool. Hope you're doing well. Haven't conversed in a bit. A wile back I decided to quit the political forum. Just too much going in there for the likes of me. All the best.

the answer is one, one flip. because it is not really a math problem, it's an exercise in perception and awareness.

all you got to do is watch one coin flip to spot the schill, the hustler's plant. then you match those bets and cash hard until the 3rd man, the muscle, comes in and you get bounced or they all move off to greener pastures.

the trick to every hustle is not to figure out how to beat them, but to join them. one flip.
