How many outcomes can there be in a truly honest coin flip?
The correct answer is of course 11.
The other replies seem to leave out many obvious possibilities.
We covered both sides and edge. We did not cover flips that would count or not count for other reasons.
One player did not like the result of the flip, so punched the other player out. Outcome of disqualification.
Earthquake occurs during flip and coin falls in crack, never to be seen again.
Flipper is honest but opponent is not, giving two new sides as possible results if he substituted his coin.
Flipper has heart attack during flip, dieing before coin lands. A living team captain being required to be present as coin lands, the outcome is a re-flip with replacement team captain.
Even though flip was honest, Judge is a moron and disqualifies the flip for one ridiculous reason or another.
Opponent catches coin out of the air and Judge rules toss in flippers favor without the coin landing.
There is only one possibility left.
You will have to figure out number 11 on your own
