You do realise that the starting position of the coin influences the actual outcome. There was a study on this a number of years ago and the odds are not 50/50. It’s more likely that a coin will land with the same face on the upwards facing side that was facing upwards before you flipped the coin.

100% this.
Unless the “toss” is exactly the same each time, and unless the “toss” is 100% “fair”, ie, there’s exactly 50% chance of it being heads or tails, then any other investigation is not a “fair” one.

It's 50 50 ain't it?

according to the maths thread, it depends what time of the day you were born.
