Heads or tails?
 
IT'S A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION... Do you pick heads or tails?

I always prefer tails, better chance of winning for some reason.

BHwolfgang May 16th, 2009 11:34 PM

I preferably go with heads. Heads technically comes before tails. xP

Spinor May 16th, 2009 11:55 PM

Mathematically, Heads and Tails would have a 50/50 chance, thus giving no choice.

But with the appliance of Quantum and Simple Physics to calculate the physical movement of the coin in which cause a flip and turn to land with the fact that the heads side has approximately .6mg more from the neutralized division point than in the tails side, thus applying inertia to the heads side, it can be concluded that air resistance slows every income from the heads side and making it slow to further increase chances of keeping tails up.

So in conclusion, I prefer tails because it is 0.0001834523% more likely than heads :3

Based on this, I'ma go for tails. You pretty much use a big word and I'll be convinced...

I usually say 'tails' over heads because tails is the underdog!
But after reading the above, heads is the underdog... Go tails regardless!

Herald Riddler May 17th, 2009 10:43 AM

I'm going to say heads, because if its a 50/whatever number Godot posted chance, Im going for the underdog.

Ayano Hana May 17th, 2009 10:47 AM

I usually just choose Heads. No reason, really.

Lynnx May 17th, 2009 10:50 AM

I pick tails, usually. If there's another person, I let them choose first and then I take the one they don't want.

Alexithymia~ May 17th, 2009 11:41 AM

Tails.... has a 50/50 chance to fails.
[changed the rhyme/limerick thing]

Dark Azelf May 17th, 2009 11:53 AM

I always go for heads. Seems to work for some reason. =p

Cheesymitten May 17th, 2009 12:06 PM

Tails, it's a more nice pattern to it and i always pick it in any game :P

True Reign May 17th, 2009 1:44 PM

Heads never fails.

... Well sometimes, lol. XD

Ŧøry vs. M£A†¥³ May 17th, 2009 1:47 PM

I always choose tails, hey, this thread gives me an idea.

thedestinedblade May 17th, 2009 1:48 PM

Uh, I don't know. Whatever comes to mind first, I guess.

PokemonMichael May 17th, 2009 1:49 PM

I always just pick any. xD I know how simple that sounds, but meh. xD

Pokemoerules May 17th, 2009 2:24 PM

TaIls It is the tail that never falls off

♣Gawain♣ May 17th, 2009 10:54 PM

Both are 50/50, and usually I choose heads.

ShinjisLover May 17th, 2009 10:59 PM

[center]I usually choose tails. =3[center]

Alex May 18th, 2009 6:45 AM

I've always liked tails more so I usually go for it instead of Heads.. but what's the difference really.

.inLOVE May 19th, 2009 1:21 AM

I always choose heads, just because it's never failed me before.

JaggedMan May 19th, 2009 5:40 PM

It's 50/50 but I usually choose heads for no reason at all.

Aurafire May 19th, 2009 5:55 PM

Tails I guess, but it really doesn't matter all that much. =P

Translator May 19th, 2009 6:41 PM

Well, I think heads always works for me. :)

Wish May 19th, 2009 7:08 PM

Heads.

The Heads side has always been my lucky side. The brain is located in the head anyway so yeah. XD

Beelzebub May 19th, 2009 7:41 PM

I usually pick Tails. I don't know really tbh why.

Sammi May 20th, 2009 1:01 PM

I really like picking tails, for some reason. Maybe it just sounds cooler than heads? *shrug*

Hiidoran May 20th, 2009 1:04 PM

I usually pick tails because it seems to appear more often for me.

Glad to know that there is a scientific reason behind it. :D

...And that I'm not some statistical freak who almost always gets tails. :x

Alpha de Splash May 20th, 2009 1:06 PM

hmmm.... not too sure, lets flip a coin to decide..... tails it is

Snivi May 21st, 2009 10:41 PM

For some reason I always choose Tails.

Idiot! May 22nd, 2009 7:02 AM

I'll take the rejected side.

s l u g May 22nd, 2009 10:42 AM

Tails, i don't know always prefer to go with the neglected one.

PokemonFanatic2 May 22nd, 2009 10:54 AM

Tails. It has a pretty design on the back of coins.. Sometimes.

Predator. May 22nd, 2009 11:25 AM

Heads because i just have luck with it lol. :D

Sebastien Loeb May 22nd, 2009 12:05 PM

I in the throwing of coin ever extend always to use tails.

Aziza May 22nd, 2009 12:06 PM

Heads.
The brain is in the head. :P

Sweet Candace May 22nd, 2009 12:07 PM

Tails never fails. Whenever I have to choose between heads or tails, I usually always pick tails.

Mr.Kirby May 22nd, 2009 1:37 PM

I always used to choose tails because everyone would always choose heads. :D

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ May 24th, 2009 5:45 AM

I've always gotten lucky with Heads. I remember this one time when I was just flipping a quarter 12 times, they all landed on Heads, its pretty cool. I dont pick tails because theres no tail there reallly


:t354:TG

Percy Thrillington May 24th, 2009 5:47 AM

Heads. It's the right choice fifty per cent of the time!

Cold Fusion May 24th, 2009 6:01 AM

I usually pick.... tails... dunno why, just do.

OokamiShipper May 24th, 2009 7:21 AM

Timmy said that "Since heads is heavier, it'll be the one facing down, so choose tail."
He's this guy who always relies on the scientific way of everything. No imagination. ^^;
Though he does make sense, I'd choose heads. xD

Ben Kenobi May 24th, 2009 7:41 AM

Heads, since the other person always seems to choose tails. When given the first choice, I pick heads anyway.

Logan May 24th, 2009 12:00 PM

I usually call heads, but 99/100 times it always seems to be tails for me xD

msdmario May 25th, 2009 8:37 PM

I have no preference when it comes to a coin flip. Most of the time, most of my coin flips were over minor things such as where to eat for supper between two restaurants.

I have yet to have a coin toss over something very serious like my own life unlike what happened to some people in No Country for Old Men.

Suki May 26th, 2009 1:46 AM

I choose Heads - can live without tails but can't live without heads :p lol
