\n" ); document.write( "HT\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The next has HT for each.
\n" ); document.write( "After two tosses, There are HH HT TH TT\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The third toss has two outcomes for each of the 4. Notice how the third is HT all the way down.\r

\n" ); document.write( "HHT
\n" ); document.write( "HTH
\n" ); document.write( "HTT

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "There are 8 different outcomes.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There is 1 outcome with all heads; 1 outcome with all tails
