Jude repeatedly flips a coin. If he has already flipped nn heads, the coin lands heads with probability 1n+2\frac{1}{n+2} and tails with probability n+1n+2\frac{n+1}{n+2}. If Jude continues flipping forever, let pp be the probability that he flips 3 heads in a row at some point. Compute ⌊180p⌋\lfloor 180 p\rfloor.
