Two equally appealing options, can't decide — flip once, accept the result.
Classroom probability demo
Flip 100 times. Heads count will land somewhere around 50 but rarely exactly — a useful tangible intro to variance.
Common use cases
- Quick binary decisions (go/stay, this/that)
- Stats class demos of probability vs experimental frequency
- Game tiebreakers when physical coins aren't handy
Troubleshooting
- Got 7 heads in a row — is it broken?
- Seven heads in a row happens about 1 in 128 sessions even with a perfectly fair coin. Independence means each flip ignores the previous results.
