    Suppose there are two coins. One is a standard fair coin, so that P(heads)=0.50. The other one is a two-sided coin, so that P(heads)=1. You draw one of the two coins at random and toss it.

    You have 2 fair coins and one coin with heads on both sides. You pick a coin at random and toss it twice. If it lands heads up on both tosses, the probability it also lands heads up on a third toss can be express in the form A/B, where A and B are relatively prime positive integers (i.e. the greatest common divisor is 1). Compute A + B.
