No, that's not what I did. I'll assume that you are smart enough to understand what I did, and I just did a poor job of explaining it. So I don't know if it's worth trying again. But basically, my probability tree was meant to reflect how Beauty should view the state of the world on an awakening. It was not meant to reflect how data would be generated if we saw the experiment through to the end. I thought it would be useful. But you can scrap that whole thing and my other arguments hold.
Well you did divide 500 by 2 - getting 250. And you should have multiplied the 500 tails events by 2 (the number of interviews that were conducted after each "tails" event) - getting 1000 "tails" interviews in total. 250 has nothing to do with this problem.
