Odds?

If you toss three coins into the air at the same time, what are the chances that at least two coins will finish up heads?
 
I feel like this is a trick question... My initial instinct was to say 2/3rds, then after thinking about it, to say 50%. But I think that's also wrong....

Now I'm wondering if it's 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8th or something like that.... 87.5%?

EDIT: I just googled it, dammit...

Grins, Odds are evens or 50/50 , toss a coin say and it comes up heads 10, 15 or even 70 times in a row the odds for the next toss are still the same 50/50. :cool:
