Imagine a coin is like a tiny dancer. When you flip it, the dancer spins and twirls before landing on your hand or the floor. If we know exactly how hard you flipped it and where it started, we could predict whether it would land heads or tails, but if we don’t know those details, it feels random!
Why It Feels Random
A coin toss seems like magic because there are so many things that can change the result: the way your hand moves, the air around it, and even how the coin hits the surface. All these little changes make it hard to guess where it will land.
