Thank you, your explanation for the 1/3 answer makes sense to me. I'm still a bit confused about it, but i think i feel like i might be changing my mind.
I'll try to figure out what would happen if SB makes a bet on the coin flip at each interview. Suppose she guesses heads each time, then:
(Perhaps it's important to realize that, if the coin lands on tails, then she's guaranteed to wake up once on Monday, and also guaranteed to wake up once on Tuesday. Now that i read your other comment again, i see your meaning when you say that p(heads) and p(tails) for each day is the same.)
