I think in each round the king plays the 2 coin flip for each of the selected candidates, one after the other, with the game ending as soon as the first contestant wins. This will result in 4 coin tosses for the seconds round, 8 in the third and so on. Hence allowed question regarding the round number.

.25 regardless of how long the game has been going. It doesn't help to ask the king.

It seems too easy but that's the answer I got.

IDGI. If I play and two fair coins come up heads, I get pizza. Boom, 1 in 4. What do all the other people have to do with it?!

EDIT: Unless "getting a call" does not mean "I get to play in a round right now".

It does not matter which round it is, your chances will always be 1 in 4.
