[Tutor] Coin Flip

[taserian]

Since the variable *count* never increases inside of the loop body, it gets
stuck in the *while* loop.

I recommend taking a hard look at the program, consider what it should be
doing, and then seeing which statements should be in the *while* loop, and
which ones should be outside it.
