minus-squareBleakBluets@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·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-squareryven@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·1 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-squarePapaStevesy@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoWould spinning the coin get rid of that bias?
