Two Coin Pony

 

This game is for three players. Select who will be Player A, Player B, and Player C.

Toss the two coins. If the coins are both heads, Player A gets a point. If the coins are a head and a tail, Player B gets a point. If the coins are both tails, then Player C gets a point.

Players alternate tossing the coins until a player gets 10 points.

Play the game at least four times. Keep a record of each game. Find the total number of points each player got for all four games.
