I love the idea that these blobs are dull enough to be entertained by flipping coins, but clever enough to cheat at it.

Imagine being the 3% of cheaters that had a weighted coin and still got only tails

I love this blob society. They only have one cop, and that cop’s only job is to find people who cheat at coin-flipping.

Let's say: if a cheater feels that someone is onto them, they will secretly switch to a fair coin.<br>Then, we're suddenly very deep in the domain of games theory.<br>A simple crossover that shows how quickly mathematical models become complex.

I shared this with several of my former professors and they loved it. <br><br>By far the one who had the funniest reaction was my sociology professor, who said "ensure the false positive rate is less than 0.1%." I asked him why, at which point he smiled this giddy evil smile and said "Then have the cheaters get labeled as mangoes."

I love how you take (sometimes boring) statistics concepts and explain them in a way that makes it simple and enjoyable for non-maths guys.<br>Good job, my dude.
