Hi, I am learning probability and need a good working algorithm for selecting between two options successfully. Any help will be appreciated. Please post the algorithm in equation form. Thanks.

1. Remove coin from pocket 2. Flip coin 3. Examine coin. If it fell "heads" up, choose option 1. If it fell "tails" up, choose option 2. 4. Repeat as necessary. The case of the coin falling on the side is left to the student
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

(Apart from question being unclear) Probability is a "chance", it does not guarantee 100% "successful" answer. So even if you could get an algorithm it won't guarantee to be correct. The accuracy of answer is 100%, only when there is one answer. In two options, there is a probability of 50/50 (50%) and so on.
answer := 1/n
Where n is the number of answers; options. The example of "coin flip" is a good way to demonstrate this. You flip a coin and your friend selects one. That is the probability. It can be correct or it can be false.
