But that's not correct, it can definitely be odd.
Look at the extreme example where n = 1 (1 starting tail)
Group 1 will be 1 coin.
Group 2 will be 99 coins.
There are 2 possibilities
1:
Group 1 = 1 tail
Group 2 = 99 heads
Flip over the coin in group 1
Group 1 = 1 head = 0 tails
Group 2 = 99 heads = 0 tails
2:
Group 1 = 1 Head
Group 2 = 1 tail, 98 heads
Flip over the coin in group 1
Group 1 - 1 tail
Group 2 = 1 tail, 98 heads
Works just fine for an odd number.

Ha ha, you are right. I don't know what I was thinking! Well, I do know what I was thinking but it was obviously wrong. Thanks for the correction!
