It's never 50/50 in our family

DD1 is in kindergarten and her homework last night was to flip a coin 8 times and graph the outcome. Heads v Tails, you know, good ol' 50/50 chances. For some people. For her, 7 heads, 1 tail

Poor kid was actually quite frustrated at her results so we played again. That time, she got 6 tails and 2 heads. She was bothered but I did manage to show her that if she looked at ALL 16 of her flips (even though she could only graph the 1st 8) she got much closer to 50/50 with 9 heads and 7 tails.

I guess we just need to have 16 kids

HAHA, I remember that exercise in school as well! Just go for 16. Maybe you could get a reality show and all of their college paid for with the proceeds?

I would bloody end up with 16 girls for sure!! Buy shares in a sanitary products, hair tie and make-up company!!

Hilarious story!
If I were to have anymore, I'd probably have loads of boys with the odd girl in between.

I did that just for fun the other day, and got 5 tails in a row!

What a fun way to look at things! I always try to find patterns in life, I guess this would throw my theory off.
