    In reality you still have a 49.9/100% chance of getting heads. You honestly don't have a true 50/50 chance seeing there is the third side to the coin which is sides.

    So on average you have a 49.9% chance that it will be heads and the same of it being tales with a .2% chance that it will mystically land on its side.

    The logical explination of this is the fact that you are flipping the coin so even if you some how weighted either side of the coin to "help" improve apon your statistic the outcome is still the same a 49.9% chance. Angles, deflection, and leveling have nothing and everything to do with the pure luck of the draw. You flip it so by shear volume mass you have statiscly screwed yourself into giving yourself this percentage. Now if you rolled the coin then your percentages would change drastically if the coin was weighted to one side but this is not the case.

    Of course if the coin is duel sided the you still have the chance that it would land on its side, which would be .2%. Unless this coin that we have "no prior knowledge of" has a face of .032 and a width (side) of 3 inches. Then statistically it would almost always land on its side.

    Limiting your question shows nothing and will also help to proove nothing. By doing this even if someone was to guess the correct responce you could still say "no" and change your secnario to suit your favor.
