Now I wanna know if I can get better at landing on the same side on purpose...
Yeah... I had that thought for a second. Then I geeked out on the math and came to the same conclusion I had before.
Just as I won't learn to play poker or count cards, I'm not learning and practicing this.
I've got other things to do with my limited life.
I suspect you can, if there is a bias when no effort is applied I suspect you can train to increase it. I can think of two main factors at play - how fast the coin is rotating and how long it remains in the air. Both of which are under your control and I suspect you can train to become more reliable for though it might take a lot of effort. Or you can just learn to do this in 10 mins. Who is going to know the difference? It is cheating either way.
