Verified by Experts

When a coin is tossed then S1={H,T}
When the coin shows T, then there is no action. When the coin shows H, a die is thrown then
S2={1,2,3,4,5,6}
When the die shows {1,3,5}, then there is no action.
When the die shows {2,4,6,} a die is thrown again.
Thus S={T,H1,H3,H5,H21,H22,H23,H24,H25,H26,H41,H42,H43,H44,H45,H46,H61,H62,H63,H64,H65,H66}
