Two-face bomb

So I am struggling with the two-face bomb problem
http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/riddles/hard.shtml#2faceBomb
I don't have much of a probability intuition so am kind of lost where to begin. Any hints ?
Thanks!!
(I searched for this in the forums but could not find it, sorry if this has been discussed before)

The threads about this problem are a bit old, so you have to remember to set the maximum age when searching for them.
There are ones here and here.
If you want to begin on your own, begin with fewer than 2000 digits; like 4 or 10, then try to see if you can find an approach that scales up.
