By the way, this is my first non-question post on lesswrong after lurking for almost a year. I’ve made some guesses about the mathematical maturity I can assume, but I’d appreciate feedback on if I should assume more or less in future posts (and general feedback about the writing style, either here or in private).

Seemed well-targeted to me. I do feel like it could have been condensed a bit or had a simpler storyline or something, but it was still a good post.
I would have appreciated an intuitive explanation of the paradox something which I got from the comments.
This is a lovely little problem, so thank you for sharing it. I thought at first it would be [a different problem](https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/new-in-9/markov-chains-and-queues/coin-flip-sequences.html) that’s similarly paradoxical.
