Frequently asked questions

Is the coin flip truly 50/50?

Yes. Each flip uses your device's cryptographic random generator and is completely independent of every flip before it. Heads and Tails are equally likely on every toss.

If I get five Heads in a row, is Tails "due"?

No — that belief is the gambler's fallacy. The coin has no memory. After five Heads, the next flip is still exactly fifty-fifty.

How do I use it to make a decision?

Switch on Yes / No mode, type or speak your question, and flip. Tip: notice your gut reaction to the answer — it often reveals what you were really hoping for.

What is the 3-coin mode for?

Flipping three coins gives you a best-of-three majority (for example, "2 Yes · 1 No"), which some people prefer for slightly weightier calls.
