Flip a coin without a coin
A coin flip is the classic fifty-fifty decision maker, trusted for generations to settle a choice between two options, and this virtual coin gives you heads or tails instantly whenever you do not happen to have a real one to hand. It is quick, demonstrably fair, and always available on any device, so a tie never has to wait for someone to find loose change in a pocket.
Why a coin flip is genuinely fair
A fair coin gives each of its two sides an exactly equal and completely independent chance on every single flip, with no memory whatsoever of the flips that came before, which is precisely what makes it such a trusted way to settle a choice fairly between two people. The virtual version uses your browser’s randomness to reproduce that even split faithfully. There is also a well-known psychological trick worth knowing: if you flip to decide something and catch yourself quietly hoping for a particular side while the coin is still in the air, you have just discovered your real preference.
