I'd be excited, too, assuming the game's fair. After all, there is a winner; the value of the game can be calculated by dividing one trillion by the number of players. Assuming each round takes one minute (5 seconds for the flip, the rest for pomp and ceremony), and that weeding-out rounds take place simultaneously, then the entire population of the planet could play in just over half an hour. If there are 6 billion people playing, the payout is $167 for no more than half an hour of flipping (most likely less). $300/hour is good money; where do I sign up? -mb
