There's also no need for both headscount and tailscount unless the code
allows for a "coin" to land on its edge.
100 - headscount => tailscount
>>> TRIALS = 100
>>> import random
>>> run = [random.choice([0, 1]) for _ in range(TRIALS)]
>>> print "Heads: %s, Tails: %s" % (sum(run), TRIALS - sum(run))
Heads: 51, Tails: 49
>>>
>>> TRIALS = 200
>>> run = [random.choice([0, 1]) for _ in range(TRIALS)]
>>> print "Heads: %s, Tails: %s" % (sum(run), TRIALS - sum(run))
Heads: 112, Tails: 88
>>>
