I can't understand this question; it needs to be phrased more precisely.

If aleph0 people flip a coin aleph0 times each, then there will be sequences
that were not flipped. This is certain.

If c (=continuum) people flip a coin aleph0 times each, then it is possible
that every sequence is flipped.
