The paradox of probabilityMany of us are all too familiar with the game of tossing a coin to decide a choice, question or stake. To the Romans, it was known as ‘Ship or Head’ – a game of choosing between a ship on one side of the coin or the head of the emperor on the other. In German, it’s ‘Kopf oder Zahl’, and the most common in English is ‘Heads or Tails’. One side of the coin usually depicts a ruler's head and the other side is called 'tails', normally numerical, but perhaps it could just logically be that – the opposite end of an animal from its head.www.coromind.nz
