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.
Get a reference that details all the characteristics of a fair coin and subject it to minute scientific scrutiny using all the equipment of a large university.
