50%.. Any previous results do not affect subsequent ones. As long as the coin is fair (i.e. not weighted to one face, for example)
Same as previous answer.

this made me think of a something i have read and discussed (lol still)
this thing that i read is that you have more of a chance of whichever side was face up to start with has more of a chance (i dont really believe that one but still)
same answer as first two anons 50%
dont know that the third guy is talking about :S
50%...BTW... I sorta stumbled on this riddle...and I was wondering if I could post this here...
What is the next line in the sequence below?? OH oh and here´s a hint: write what you SEE!!
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
the result of ANY single toss is always 50%. If you were to ask, however, that are the odds of winning 5 out of 6 tosses, you'd have a different answer...
