BehindTheMask Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Okay, I want to play a game with YCM. You and I wanted to bet money. We don't have a pack of cards...so we decide to flip a fair coin. I decide that you will flip the coin, and call it out, mid flip. You agree. If you are wrong, I win the pot.If you are right, You win the pot. To make sure it is a fair, you take a random coin out of your pocket. You flip it 10 times. All 10 times it was "TAILS." I exclaim "THAT ISN'T FAIR, YOU WILL JUST CALL TAILS ALL THE TIME." You say "It's not. What will you wager." Dejectedly, I say "100 dollars, I can't afford not too." You put in 100 dollars as well. You smile, and flip the coin. Mid-air, you shout "________." I laugh, knowing that you made 1 big mistake. Well, YCM, what do you choose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BehindTheMask Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 To clear up confusion: "I" refers to "BehindTheMask""You" refers to the reader. You bet 100 dollar, matching my bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I call tails because 10/10 previous times it landed tails. I mean there's still a 50/50 chance, but... eh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BehindTheMask Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 What's the mistake? That we trusted you? The mistake is....In your choice that you make. There are seemingly 4 outcomes...but there is only 2. You pick heads...or you pick tails. This is the point of the topic. Which do you pick...and why? ahh i cant get it its like staring me in the face and i cant get itwait i i didnt make a mistake ! See Above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Dahlia Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Tails. Fair chance, but this came out more. l think no matter what we pick though, we lose. Why? Because technically, you choose the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eury Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Tails. You laugh because whilst I was putting in my 100 dollars, you switched the coin with a fixed one so it would land on heads. inb4ITSAFAIRCOIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eury Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Heads. Before I flipped the coin, I had placed it on my thumb tail side up. If tails is facing up when the coin is perched on my thumb, it is more likely to land tails up. The chance of it landing tails is now 51-60%. You laugh because you have a higher chance of winning than I. lolmathematics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eury Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Well the odds are 50/50. Unless you take into account the weight distribution of the coin. The tails side is heavier than the heads side. Or is it vice-versa....Gah. Edit: Give me a few minutes to think this through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
