When three friends go for coffee, they decide who will pay the check by each flipping a coin and then letting the "odd person" pay. If all three flips produce the same result (so that there is no odd person), then they make a second round of flips, and they continue to do so until there is an odd person. What is the probability that more than 4 rounds of flips are needed to determine who will pay the check?
