    Let n≥n \ge3 and kk be positive integers. We place nn coins on the table with the heads sides up. Then the following operation is performed kk times: we choose one of the nn coins randomly, with equal probabilities, and flip that coin. Prove that the probability that the procedure results in all the nn coins lying with tails up is less than 12n−1\frac{1}{2^{n-1}}.
