Heads or Tails Might Not Be The Best Way To Make Decisions
WHO: Anybody or a new mathematical
WHAT: Flipping a coin might not be the fairest or best way to make decisions.
WHERE: Stanford University and the University of California, Santa Cruz.
WHEN: March 3, 2004
WHY: Mathematical people say that the coin has to flipped in a certain way to be fair every time. In order to make it fair, you have to flip the coin in air in a certain way so that it is even. They say that if heads it facing up then the person who chose head, has a better chance of winning. So the person who chose tails won't really have a good chance of winning.
My Opinion: Some people who flip a coin don't even make it go 360 degrees. So if you need to use a coin for something next time, do it the right way or think of something else. There are so many other ways to chose things if you don't know how to flip the coin right.
