/* The Saint Petersburg Game  is a hypothetical casino game played by two players 
 * I begin by putting $1 on the table, and you then repeatedly flip a coin until it comes up tails. 
 * Each time the coin comes up heads, I double the amount of money on the table.
 * As soon as the coin comes up tails, the game is over and you win all the money.
 * program that plays the Saint Petersburg Game as many times as is necessary to earn a total of at least $20.
