Scumbria, I'm using a very brute force algorithm I just used a spreadsheet. I converted the number to binary, 1 digit per cell. Then I added the digits. 12 digits 4096 went fine. When I tried to extend it to 16 (Excel's limit of 64K rows) I ran out of memory and lost my spreadsheet. but I'm sure there is a simple equation. I am sure there is. And I am pretty sure a few years ago I might have known it <g> But I think a problem for n coin tosses with 1/4 or less having say tails divided by n should have a numerical result, or at least the limit as n -> infinity should converge to something. Well, maybe to 0. <g> Joe
