Outcome of coin toss lies in the wrist

Post by NuclearSilo »

London, Dec 31 (ANI): Outcome of a coin toss depends on the technique used to flip it, say researchers.

A study, led by researchers at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada has found that with practice, it is possible to correctly predict the outcome of the coin toss up to two-thirds of the time.

During the study, research team asked 13 medical students to flip a coin 300 times and try to influence the way it landed.

The top two winners were told they would receive a prize of 20 dollars or 10 dollars respectively.

Code: Select all

When people toss a coin like that you can always tell what it's supposed to be.

The guy is able to tell differently than I do, but for me I can tell by what side it is before you flip it. It will more than likely be the opposite when you put it on the top of your hand.

This only works if you call after you throw it, which is sort of stupid if someone agree's to a deal like this.
