Imagine that you flip a fair coin 20 times. This will create a sequence of heads and tails, and there are lots of possible sequences (just over one million equally likely microstates). Now, imagine looking for strings of consecutive H's or consecutive T's within each sequence of 20 flips. For instance, one sequence (one microstate) is THHTTTTHTHHHTTHHTTHT, which contains one string of four consecutive T's, one string of 3 consecutive H's, and many strings of two consecutive H's and T's.
