Flippin’ Fun!

I wrote an answer to a question about sequences of coin flips a couple days back that I was quite chuffed with. In short, the question asked for statistical ways to determine if a sequence of coin flips was from an unbiased coin or a human trying to appear random. The resulting model turned into a fun game on twitter centered around determining if people who follow me could simulate a sequence of coin flips that looked random (without using a real RNG, or some funny workaround. I have a lot of faith in my twitter followers…maybe too much).
