Going through a box of halves and finding a single coin in the first roll only or going through the whole roll and finding a single coin in the last roll of the box?
Finding a keeper in the last roll is like a saving grace for that box, but finding a keeper in the first roll and then nothing in the next 49 rolls is a major let-down. That's my view at least. But either way you come out the same.
finding one in the first roll and then nothing else, is worse in my veiw. -- because builds false hopes of it being a good box --finding one in the last roll is " skunk" save , a minor blessing .
Reminds of when I randomly picked out a roll from a box to pay for food at Taco Bell. There was a 64 in there and so I thought it was going to be a good box. Man, was I wrong.. that was the only keeper in the box. I just thought what were the odds? 1 out of 50 chance of picking the roll with the keeper.
