The coin lands on the deck of an aircraft as it inverts into a negative-G dive. This leads to an endless debate over which side of the coin is "up". Therefore, the "correct" answer is infinit, or two, take your pick.

I choose two, it having never been proved that a coin has ever landed on the "edge".

I have had a coin land on it's edge and roll away. Amazingly enough it actually stayed that way. I also had one land that way and roll over to a wall and lean. So is that another possiblity?


A leaning coin doesn't count. If the surface is "uneven" then there are an infinite number of possibilities in the surface. That being the case model doesn't hold and every result is meaningless. What side did the coin that rolled away land on when it stopped? The rules of the coin toss may be short, but they have to exist for the coin toss to mean anything.
