You can solve this easily by always flipping with the same side (doesn’t matter which) facing up for all flips.

- havnagiggle 3y agoThere is skill to coin flipping. You'd need to blind the flipper, either physically blindfold or make it so they don't know which result is the positive outcome ahead of time.
- bee_rider 3y agoOr ask the competitors to flip the coin in a manner they doesn’t allow for skill, like put it in a Yahtzee cup and toss from there.
- xp84 3y agoI was imagining spinning the coin with a flick of the finger. That doesn't seem to be gameable to me, but I supposed you'd need to do a lot of flicks to see if flicking the head side or tails side matters. I'd think there's no way a coin can be more likely to spin an odd or even number of times before falling, but weirder things have happened.
