How can you simulate a fair coin flip using this coin only? By "fair" I mean that you should get a "heads" result exactly 50% of the time, and a "tails" result exactly 50% of the time.
Do 100 flips and subtract the extra % that the unfair side would win from its total wins after 100 flips. So basically the unfair wins don't count as real wins.
If sample size is a problem then do it more than 100 times. But it's the same principle.
