Go flip a coin and see which of the 3 sides it lands on. Then do it again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. etc..... And let us know how many times it lands on the side. Because that may be why people refer to a coin having 2 sides..... | ||
