It's even easier to cheat as long as you can feel the coin by touch, since catching the coin and slapping it into the back of your hand is an acceptable way of performing a coin toss. You can quickly get used to the coin and just slap it with whatever side you want up every time.
@@michaelfortier7726 that has nothing to do with who calls it though? What he's saying is if someone called heads, and you can feel the coin landed on tails, you can slap the coin on to your hand, which flips it.
Your content is fantastic! I love the animation style, and getting into more of the physics and stats of such a seemingly simple interaction. Keep it up mate!

The graph of idealized toss outcomes is pretty neat. You then mention how in the real world the bouncing action causes chaotic outcomes. It would have been really cool to show the chart after taking into account bounce physics, to drive home the concept.
There's an easy remedy against this form of cheating though: 1) You throw the coin 2) You catch the coin, but don't reveal it yet 3) The other person calls heads or tails 4) Reveal That way you have no way of knowing what the other person will pick, and can't manipulate the outcome to suit you by precision flipping. (You could still maybe do some sleight of hand tricks on the reveal though, but I don't know exactly how that would work.)
Suppose the coin thrower can consistently get the coin to land on whatever side they need. At that point it doesn't matter which side it landed on because it can most certainly be manipulated to be on whatever side it needs to be. A quick flick of the "holding" hand as you're lifting your "hiding" hand could be used to flip the coin into the other orientation. Or using the "hiding" hand's thumb to flip the coin as you lift up the hand.
@@tailez606 or simply keep it in your catching hand until an answer is chosen, flipping it on the back of your other hand when required, or just opening your catching hand if its already correct side up
if you're quick and eagle eyed enough, you'll see what the coin was when they caught it. doesn't work if they know what the coin is too, and they do that thing where they slap the coin onto their arm to call it so you don't win, this is how BOTH sides can cheat, but the cheating coin flipper gets the last laugh now, if you did this in the dark, or put tape on both sides of the coin to prevent peeking, then it's totally foolproof
This is actually well known, this is why there are actually a number of rules on how to conduct a fair coin toss. The biggest one is the person not flipping the coin gets to call, this also prevented cheating with weighted coins .
This method is exactly why in many sports events the coin is required to fall on the ground in all tosses (although the referee shouldn't prefer any result in the first place)
I once did this with my friend a few months back. He was really confused how I was able to guess literally all of them. I could’ve put money on it but I didn’t wanna scam him
Back when I was a kid, I heard of some way to practice flipping the coin to get heads every time, but I didn't want to bother practicing it. So I came up with an easier sleight-of-hand trick for it. When it lands in one hand, quickly note what it is, then make it what you want when you flip it onto the back of your other hand (by rotating it to leave the side you want up or flipping normally if you wanted the other side).
This is all well and good, but you have forgotten the most important factor: whether the person flipping the coin will do the hand slap thing with it, thereby making it completely random
Hatchbacks actually often have an aerodynamic advantage due to the sharp cutoff at their rear. This was demonstrated by Volvo in a touring car championship in the 90s.
Yeah I used to fidget with flipping a quarter as a kid and figured out it was not too hard to remove the randomness. You can hear the sound as it's spinning in the air so as long as it sounds the same and you grab it at the same time it's consistent. It's only spinning at like 5 revolutions per second or something.
Not gonna lie, the craziest part of the video for me was that there was practical advice at the end xD most videos like this I see use physical analogues as excusing to talk about cool math/physics
i was lagit expecting you to code an AI to calculate the rotation and velocity of the coin in real time so it can accurately guess the flip 100% of the time but this was still cool XD
There is also the Mark Rober way of flicking the coin to look like its rotating, but its actually always on one side and just wobbling up and down on the sides slightly
Every flip of a coin is a random chaotic pattern, but we can find order in chaos ... I practice roulette 1/1 bets with a coin .... It's pretty easy when you see the ordered patterns.
You can do similar things with dice rolls, which makes the game backgammon interesting because traditionally it's not about how good you are at making strategy from your pieces, it's about being the best at cheating the rolls.

Good point, I guess it's implied you have to call the side before you flip the coin though, but the average observer probably wouldn't notice.
Usually that is why the other person calls head or tails

@@adamnielson42 you're right, misread the intent of his comment. Used to people slapping the coin on their hand and THEN having someone call it.
@@michaelfortier7726 what a refreshing, polite exchange :)
But suppose you throw a coin enough times...
Suppose one day, it lands on its edge.

I predict another great video
Edit: Just finished, I can confirm it was. Time to go cheat now :D

This video almost convinced me to try to learn how to do this, but then I remembered that I haven't had to flip a coin in well over a decade.
so underrated, one of my favourite channels!
THE LEGEND RETURNS
Fantastic having you back
6:27 was the least expected insult of my life
Alright, now teach me how to fudge my dice rolls with a D20 so that I have an excuse to be kicked out of my last remaining social gathering
This is why I love youtube notifications! Loved this video and your content!
I love this channel for exactly this kind of video
A pancake being a pancake is my new favorite part if this channel

bastard animation style very cool never change. intetesting topic explained well gj :DDDDDDDDD u r beloved by all
Great video, however this is why it's usually the person who isn't tossing the coin that decides if it's head or tails.
Let’s goooo I’m glad your back man 💜
This is my absolute favorite RUclips channel right now
yeees my favourite programming tuber
omg my man got a sponsor!
And that's why the non-thrower always calls the flip.
The five eleven/six foot joke killed me
Nice theory, but what if, you know... I don't have motivation to practice :D Can't wait to see you next vid!
The animation's so cute it's amazing
b2:now lets ask our chef to flip many more
the chef:got it enough to fill world hunger?
b2:bingo
chef:ight now what are we learning anyways?

Ayyy, another banger video; shame there are no coins in Monopoly, so I can't pair the two vids together-
There’s a trick on the channel Scam School where it shows that you can sorta spin the coin in a wobbly manner so it looks like it’s flipping.

a way that i found was easier was just flipping it to where the coin wobbles but never turns over. people haven’t ever really questioned it
