Researchers explore the human tendency to look to the past to predict the future—even when people rationally know outcomes are completely random.

Coin Tosses Are Not 50/50: Scientists Toss 350,757 Coins And Prove Old Theory Look closely at the starting position if you want to win.

A team of researchers analyzed the results of 350,757 coin tosses to determine whether the results are truly 50/50, and found "fair" coins are slightly more likely to land the same way they started.

A team of researchers have won a coveted Ig Nobel Prize for tossing coins hundreds of thousands of times and proving that coin flips are not 50/50 after all.

The statistical probability of losing 13 consecutive tosses stands at a minuscule 0.0122%, as highlighted by countless posts across social media platforms.

As the number of events – in this case, coin flips – increases, the more likely the final tally will reflect the underlying probability.
