Three problems for the clairvoyant demon

Probability 2009-06-28 v2

Abstract

A number of tricky problems in probability are discussed, having in common one or more infinite sequences of coin tosses, and a representation as a problem in dependent percolation. Three of these problems are of `Winkler' type, that is, they ask about what can be achieved by a clairvoyant demon.
