Or ask the competitors to flip the coin in a manner they doesn’t allow for skill, like put it in a Yahtzee cup and toss from there.


I was imagining spinning the coin with a flick of the finger. That doesn't seem to be gameable to me, but I supposed you'd need to do a lot of flicks to see if flicking the head side or tails side matters. I'd think there's no way a coin can be more likely to spin an odd or even number of times before falling, but weirder things have happened.
