Unfair Coin Flip

[Tiberius]

So for a clue, the word "simulate" is important. For obvious reasons you can't do this with a single coin flip, we've established that is unfair. The method will involve multiple coin flips, but will produce a final answer of either "heads" or "tails".

How do multiple coin flips produce only one final answer of "heads" or "tails"?
Let's say I do ten coin flips, those ten flips only result in one answer of heads or one answer of tails, or does it result in an added percentage of more; for example, six heads and four tails?

It's up to you how you get the answer from multiple flips. There is a method which will guarantee a fair result. So for example, one method might be to average out the flips over time and use that average as the result. That's not the answer, but it's an example of how you can use multiple flips to get one result.

What I don't understand about it is that it doesn't matter how many flips you do because each flip is the same chance.

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.

Your answer to Poca's question has me piqued.

Thinking like a programmer, if I can toss the com more than once to determine a result, then I can define two tosses as a 'throw' let's say. Now, what say we discount any throw that's HH or TT.

Brain working.... Not sure how this helps yet. Am I on the right track?

You are on the right track.
