I am of the opinion that “You are placed in a red room” gives additional information beyond “Someone is placed in a red room”.
I’d like to add that, if you think that’s all the information, then you’d still conclude that there’s a 99% chance that it came down tails, on the basis that it’s 99 times more likely that someone ended up in a red room and every tiny detail that you didn’t feel the need to mention happened. That said, the probabilities don’t come out quite the same, and this does not dissolve the question.
