Oh, I’m sure there is a technique that allows an experienced coin tosser to determine higher odds for a specific outcome.

Which is as much a rigged game as dealing from the bottom of the deck, loaded dice and having the magnet in the roulette wheel.

So just rework the problem fairly. Give half of the flips to Hillary and Half to Bernie. Then who wins?

Not saying that it isn't.

But unless the same person was tossing the same coin and both side picked the same side each time it would not do any good.

That is why I asked if that was the case.

If six different people tossed six different coins in six different locations and the side picking was random then the chance was 50/50.

This isn’t all that improbable. The Carolina Panthers once had a season in which they lost 11 consecutive coin tosses.

She represents the War Party. They just win, baby. No dishonor in winning, apparently.

Then what am I missing? Wasn’t the media reporting the Beast won all six coin tosses?
