Yeah, I think you were just lucky that your superstition happened to be true.

Trying not to be disrespectful but I don't believe you intuited a 50.8 % bias. So nothing weird going on at all.

I know it's not on par with any real stats, but still... I just had this strong conviction that worked this way. The really interesting stuff is why it is so. I would think along lines of brain timing tossing and catching, eye-brain-timing rather than gravity and coin itself. Added: Yeah, now I remember actually manipulating timing of catch to achieve this.

No worries, it is just me using high context communication style, where I assume that you know that I know this and I just share what was my experience in childhood (it was not like a single thought).
