Question 145

Sherlock and Mycroft play a game which involves flipping a single fair coin. The coin is flipped repeatedly until one person wins. Sherlock wins if the sequence $TTT$ (tails-tails-tails) shows up first while Mycroft wins if the sequence $HTT$ (heads-tails-tails) shows up first. Who among the two has a higher probability of winning?
