Flipping a coin to decide something is an old and honored tradition, but the ever-present "Heads or Tails" just seems to need a bit of a face lift.

How about coins with a Croissant on one side, and Fishbones on the other?

Instead of "Heads or Tails", it would be "Bones or Buns".

The denomination of this coin would certainly be a half-something.

[Flips...fishbone - sorry.)

Keep flipping... there should be equal croissants and fishbones with this one. (Unless the coin is unbalanced)

I like it. My weighted coin lands buns up. :)

Darn, it always lands on the edge, halfway between.

Heads: I win. Tails: you lose.

Two croissants ahead... just about what I expected so far... I'll keep flipping.

Any relation?

About even... hmmm.
-- zigness, Mar 17 2004


[DrCurry] no relation... I have edited my profile to clear up any confusion

Back on the idea, [zigness] is there any suggestion that 'bakers would use this coin to assist in voting?
-- Lacus Trasumenus, Mar 17 2004


Well, I think some ideas deserve a coin flip as opposed to actual thought... thought takes mental energy, and there are clearly some ideas on here (perhaps even a few of my own) that just don't warrant any more actual thinking.
