| Jul 8, 2020 at 20:02 | comment | added | Brian Hopkins | The last section of Problems and Snapshots from the World of Probability could also be relevant; $\S$17.6 "Palindromes" starting on p244. The book is by Blom, Holst, and Sandell, published by Springer in 1994. | |
| Jul 8, 2020 at 19:43 | comment | added | Brian Hopkins | The unrestricted question was posed on Quora in 2016 and answers there suggest why the three flip minimum makes a more interesting question. | |
| Jul 8, 2020 at 19:40 | comment | added | user44143 | I'd keep this open. There are some subtle dependencies, e.g.: If the first three flips are not a palindrome, and the first four flips are not a palindrome, then the first four are either HHTH, HHTT, HTTT, THHH, TTHH, TTHT. So the conditional probability of getting a palindrome at the fifth throw is 1/3. | |

| Jul 8, 2020 at 19:16 | comment | added | Dieter Kadelka | 11 or 00 are no palindromes, but 101, 111, 000, 010 are palindromes? I'm irritated. | |
