Getting away with a bank robbery is a lot more likely than you'd think, I think only about 60% of cases are solved by the police. That's not great, you're betting the farm on slightly worse odds than a coin toss. But if I did win said coin toss, I seriously cannot fathom immediately tossing not one but two more coins.
