[MotionMan]

If your life depended on it, which would you choose?

Why (if you know)?

MotionMan

 

[MotionMan]

BTW, I picked Rock and Heads.

I do not actually know why

MotionMan

 

[Skeeedunt]

ROCK SMASH

 

[coldmeat]

Well, rock always wins so I had to pick that.

 

[rudeguy]

Paper and tails. I always go for the underdog.

 

[BALIstik916]

tails never fails

 

[BlackTigers]

I like how heads and tails are exactly at 50%

 

[sash1]

rock. i commonly pick rock anyway, so i wouldn't change that

tails

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Scissors and Tails. Most people choose paper and with common US coins tails has a very slight statistical edge over heads.

I believe heads or tails is 50/50. Call me crazy.

 

[nakedfrog]

Paper and tails. AFAIK, people often open with rock.
Wacky that as of 26 votes, heads/tails is 50/50.

 

[brownzilla786]

Tails looks cooler than heads

 

[RaistlinZ]

32 votes and heads vs. tails is still exactly at 50%. Pretty cool.

 

[MegaVovaN]

Heads and scissors.

 

[imported_apocalypse]

No one likes scissors, lol.

Heads ftw!

 

[SsupernovaE]

Nanotube paper FTW!

And, um, tails?

 

[xanis]

Rock because rock can either tie or beat 2 of the 3, but so can scissors... I just like rock better so I choose that.

Heads because... yeah I don't know.

what's interesting, is that I chose Scissors for the same reason you chose Paper.
See, I'm gambling that most often people will think... "hmm, a lot of people open with rock, so I'll open with paper." The death's on them, cuz they gettin cut!

And heads. No particular reason here. Unlike rock paper scissors, where there is a minimalist strategy, heads/tails is completely random. I actually most often choose tails for coin flips, but no real reason.

Okay, you're crazy. Thanks to being differently etched coins are not perfectly balanced. There have been millions of tests done on this in the real world and it always comes out the same. Pennies, dimes, nickels and quarters all show a slight bias towards tails.

Ah but perhaps the particular impression on most us coins gives the tails side a slightly higher chance of facing up after a toss due to miniscule weight and aerodynamic imbalances?

OP: Scissors/tails. Because I have a particular pair of scissors in mind who's image pleases me more than the image that comes to mind for either rock or paper, and tails is my favorite character from the sonic the hedgehog series. If I could have thought of a better reason to choose any of them I would have.

I picked scissors; they are sharp and can cut things, including flesh. I also picked tails... not sure why, possibly because my natural inclination was to pick heads.
