The paper shows some significant evidence that human coin flips are not as fair as I would have expected (plus probably a bunch of people would agree with me). There’s always some probability that this happened by chance, but this is pretty low.
Of course, we should be able to build a really accurate coin flipping machine, but I never would have expected such a bias for human flippers.
This is why science is awesome and challenging your ideas is important.
Edit: hopefully this is not too wrong a place, but Lemmy is small, and I didn’t know where else I could share such an exciting finding.
Yeah… I had that thought for a second. Then I geeked out on the math and came to the same conclusion I had before.
Just as I won’t learn to play poker or count cards, I’m not learning and practicing this.
I’ve got other things to do with my limited life.
