A fair coin is tossed 100 times to create a sequence of heads and tails. A participant is allowed to ask 1 yes or no question (e.g. was the first coin flip heads?), then plays a game where he tries to guess all 100 coins. The participant is awarded $1 for every coin guessed correctly, and loses $1 for each incorrect guess. Find and prove an optimal strategy.

The interview was pretty straight forward, first they asked about my past experiences and projects that involved Python as they were interested in someone that is very familiar with the language. Then they asked me questions about the factors that influence change in interest rates, and if i were familiar with the derivatives used to hedge it.
