Back to stats school for you too!

Think about it. If you toss a coin 1000 times, you're going to get about 500 heads and 500 tails. Do it a million or a billion or a trillion times, and the result isn't going to be much different. You'll just be more tired.

Lots more info on their website if you are really interested.
