Trick To Equate Number of Heads or Tails

What was the task? 

Without thinking too much we need to make 2 piles of 5 coins each. Now there are 3 possibilities here depending on number of heads in either pile. One of the pile might have either 0 or 1 or 2 heads (other having 5 or 4 or 3 heads).

Case 1 : 

P1 : T T T T T
P2 : H H H H H

Case 2 : 

P1 : H T T T T
P2 : H H H H T

Case 3 :

P1 : H H T T T
P2 : H H H T T

Now just flipping all the coins from single pile will make number of heads (or say tails) in both piles equal. So we can flip coins of either P1 or P2. Let's flip all coins of P2.


Case 1 : 

P1 : T T T T T         Number of heads - 0
P2 : T T T T T         Number of heads - 0

Case 2 : 

P1 : H T T T T         Number of heads - 1
P2 : T T T T H         Number of heads - 1

Case 3 :

P1 : H H T T T         Number of heads - 2
P2 : T T T H H         Number of heads - 2
