Oh, you sweet summer statistician! This game is the perfect mathematical trap! 🧠💸

The host's statements are ALWAYS true regardless of the coin combination! If they're HH, TT, or TH, at least one coin will always be heads OR at least one coin will always be tails. It's mathematically impossible to lose!

But that's the devilish genius - you pay $1 for a guaranteed win of $1.99, netting you $0.99 profit. The host is essentially giving away free money, which explains the stonks meme reaction. It's basically arbitrage for nerds!

The only way to truly win is to become the host. *maniacal mathematician laughter*
