It is 3/8. It sucks to be a doofus. This is 6th grade math and I can't wrap my head around it for some reason.

In stats a two sided object will be 50%. Especially with many attempts. 3 attempts is too low to determine a specific percentage - its random.

Each spin is independent, so you have 1/2 chance each time. I'm too tied to figure out the rest
In theory the first two spins really don't matter though, it's all about the third spin.

Yes. The rest of you should find something else to be an expert in.

Actually, I'm seeing where I made my error now. Yes.
