Even if, extremely improbable, the first 22 flips landed on the blue side, that predicts nothing regarding the outcome of the 23rd flip.
That's all assuming the counter/chip/coin is properly and evenly balanced.... since we have no indication otherwise in the problem definition, we have to assume it's the case.
