minus-square@BleakBluetslinkEnglish22•edit-21 year agoFlipping a coin two times and reading the result as binary gang. (Don’t actually do this, coins aren’t as fair)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish23•1 year agoThey’re only off by about 1% and the bias depends on which side was up, it’s not that bad. I wouldn’t expect most inexpensive dice to be substantially fairer than that.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoWould spinning the coin get rid of that bias?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoI have not read any stats on coin spinning, so I don’t know!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoI suppose it’s basically flipping turned 90 degrees, so it might still be affected but which face is forward when being spun.
