Update: Increasing the sample size, we get a curve!! I guess a linear fit came too early to call it. With a polynomial fit of the 3rd degree, we'd expect a 100% chance of success at around 44597 attempts, which is roughly similar to the mode you found on your simulation!

Yeah. Someone tried doing that over on Twitter: x.com/confusionm8t...
They came to the conclusion it takes around 818 on median to beat the game, assuming 1 coin toss a second. A beefier simulation could aid in verifying, though, in their own admission.

Here's a small python script to compute the chances for landing the 10 coin flips: gist.github.com/suehtemorp/e...
Here's a barplot for the chances at the first 100k attempts, in 1k groups of a 100 attempts. A linear regression fit yields a R squared statistic of around 99.999% (without much rigor)
