Flipping one (fair) coin ten times is the same as flipping ten (fair) coins all at once.

That's a useful thing to remember when you want to convince someone that after a row of heads tails don't become more likely in order to catch up.

For a person making decisions it might be hard to claim that they are independent when they are sequential.
