You've kinda got to wonder why they bothered firing in the air first. Surely throwing five severed heads onto the dancefloor would have gotten their attention?
 
What are the odd's of throwing 5 heads in a row?

Ummm 3.125% :p

3.125% for real heads, where you have a choice of head or body in each case.

For actual 2 up with coins more like less than 0.1%

2 coins, 4 outcomes, being
2 heads
2 tails
head on coin 1 tail on coin 2
tail on coin 1 head on coin 2

25% event occurring every time in 5 trials, .25*.25*.25*.25*.25=0.000977 = 0.01% Drew is a lucky man.

Except that you throw 3 coins and can only have two results, heads or tails in equal probabilities. .5*.5*.5*.5*.5=0.03125
 
Think you guys are letting this probability stuff go to your heads. From memory, I might have tossed on a dance floor many years ago :D must have been the Chemercial brew, home brew would never do that ;)
