I managed 11 heads in a row with a quarter when I was in high school. I was intentionally going for heads so it was either beginner’s luck or an absurd statistical fluke.

- kadoban 4y agoIf you're not using a specific technique, that was just a fluke. I'm not a magician, I just learned this one trick/set-of-tricks (and I'm not 95% success at it either).
- onphonenow 4y agoEven when not trained if you are basically looking to "repeat" a motion, you can get a reasonably consistent flip. A lot of folks think these far out results are just statistics, but statistics actually tells us how incredibly rare this would be. 11 in a row is perhaps still part fluke without training, but as long as you were trying to do the same thing again not unreasonable.
