Unfair Coin Flip

[Tiberius]

Hammy, the keyword was "simulate".

Simulate by still using the same normal non-simulated coin lol.

Simulate a flip... or in other words... don't actually flip the coin normally.

So basically... it was a trick question

Each flip isn't the same chance though. There's the unfairness, which you can use to your advantage in the method which eliminates it.

That's not what I mean.

Say it's 60% chance to be heads and 40% chance to be tails. Each flip it's that exact same chance. 60% heads, and 40% tails. It doesn't matter how many times you flip it. And redefining and equivocating by calling a bunch of flips a "throw" won't change the reality.

The coin is flipped normally. In order to simulate a fair flip with an unfair coin, you need to flip it multiple times. I think we established that pretty quickly. It's not a trick question. You use what you have to get an outcome that matches a fair flip.

Your example of it being 60% / 40% every time is true, however when you group together multiple flips the percentages change. That's the key to the simulation, finding two different sequences of flips that have the same probability of occurring.
