What the Heck

Two things of note for me:
1. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary at first because these mannerisms are so commonplace today.
2. The mannerisms are perfect for a mobile phone user.

"Cancer is a modern, man-made disease caused by environmental factors such as pollution and diet, a study by University of Manchester scientists has strongly suggested."

This goes along with my theory that "new" diseases like ADHD are caused by plastics.

Let's play a game. We'll each name three consecutive outcomes of a coin toss (for example, tails-heads-heads, or THH). Then we'll flip a coin repeatedly until one of our chosen runs appears. That player wins.

Is there any strategy you can take to improve your chance of beating me? Strangely, there is. When I've named my triplet (say, HTH), take the complement of the center symbol and add it to the beginning, and then discard the last symbol (here yielding HHT). This new triplet will be more likely to appear than mine.
