Talk:Coin flipping
From Academic Kids
Just noticed that this page on coin flipping looks a lot like this other one:
http://www.informationblast.com/Coin_flipping.html
- That would be because it has copied WP - see lower down that page. Charles Matthews 12:57, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Am I the only person in the world who tosses guitar picks instead of coins? A pick whose faces are physically equal is far less likely to be biased than a coin . --Army1987 12:14, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Checking if a coin is biased
I am making what was warehoused here a page in its own right. Charles Matthews 11:35, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Coin flipping in fiction
In the section under the same hdg, we have
- Conversely, the 1972 movie of Graham Greene's novel Travels with my Aunt ends with a coin toss that will decide the future of one of the characters. The movie ends with the coin in mid-air.
and someone commented within the article
- [Someone familiar with Greene's novel or the stage version should edit this to say whether they end similarly.]
Indeed they should, but the solicitation does not belong in the article!
