Corrected. It is 4.

| Oct 22, 2014 at 16:15 | comment | added | SQB | @FlorianF By that logic, HH should be 4 as well. | |
| Oct 22, 2014 at 15:52 | comment | added | Florian F | It should be 4. You need 2 tosses on average to get an H, then 2 more tosses to get a T. | |
| Oct 22, 2014 at 14:24 | comment | added | Rob Watts | This doesn't quite work because when you get two heads you're not back to the original state, so you can't use $e$ to express the expected number of tosses from that point. | |
