In a series of coin flips, a run is a series of one or more consecutive coin flips that all have the same result.  For example, in the sequence
\[TT \textcolor{red}{HHH} TTHHHTH,\]
the red letters form a run.

If a fair coin is flipped two times, what is the expected length of the longest run?

The expected length of the longest run is 4/3.
