Consider a game played by 10 people in which each flips a fair up coin at the same time. If all but one of the coins comes up the same, then the odd persons wins (e.g., if there are nine tails and one head then head wins). If such a situation does not occur, the players flips again. Find the probability that game is settled on or after nth toss.
