Hillary Clinton Has The Most Statistically Improbable Coin-Toss Luck Ever

LOL...So Hillary won 6 out of 6 coin toss ties (calling heads)...and that allowed her to beat Sanders in Iowa last night.
What are the odds? According to the math, a highly improbable 1 in 64!
Wow...Hillary is one lucky lady.
Of course, her integrity and that of her campaign is above reproach.

DES MOINES, Iowa — One of the most bizarre details to emerge from Monday’s Iowa caucuses was that in six Democratic counties, the ownership of six delegates was decided by a coin flip.

A single delegate remained unassigned at the end of caucusing in two precincts in Des Moines, one precinct in Ames, one in Newton, one in West Branch and one in Davenport, The Des Moines Register reported.

In all six instances, the coin toss was won by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

There may have been more coin tosses, but those are the ones we know about for now.

Now, get ready to do some math.

In a single coin toss, the probability of calling the toss correctly is 50 percent, or one in two. Heads or tails.

But the probably of winning every flip out of six flips is one in 64, or 1.56 percent.

The online study tool “Coin Toss Probability Calculator” has a really intense formula that explains why, but the bottom line is, the probabilities stack on each other.

You’re 50 percent likely to win one coin flip. But you’re only 25 percent likely to win two consecutive coin flips, because there are now twice as many possible outcomes. So bump that up to six coin flips, and your chances of winning them all are slim:

And the bottom line is, Clinton won the Iowa caucuses on a coin flip.

Here’s why: Each coin flip decided a delegate.

Clinton’s final delegate count was 699.57, according to the Iowa Democratic Party. Sanders’ was 695.49.

If Sanders had won half of the coin tosses and split the six delegates three and three with Clinton, he would have finished at 698.49 delegates to Clinton’s 696.57.

If I was Sander's campaign, I'd have those coins inspected. Ever heard of weighted dice? Most likely improbable with coins, but I wouldn't trust Hillary's campaign with anything as far as I could spit, even down to the pennies in her pocket.

Wait until the witch kicks him in the nuts again.

The guy is pretty old...she'll have to aim low.
But she IS the queen of low blows.

To be honest with you I read that from another here yesterday and didn't fact check it so it is very possible that its wrong.

meh

So the extremely rich wife of a former president, wins democracy because money. In the form of a coin. Interesting.

So remember America, next time you're forfeiting your assets, or guantanamoed for jaywalking: you should have voted harder.

How's that bread? Good? Good.

Bernie should have flipped her and called 'Corrupt!'. No matter what side she came down on he would have won.

The Fate of a Nation decided by a COIN TOSS.
you cant make this stuff up.
or can you?
is this real life?

If Hillary didn't cheat...'The Fates' must want her to beat Sanders. Too lucky to be chance.

No, but that's just how they do it in Iowa for the party a presidential election has federal guidelines they go by.

The issue with such a method is that it could ultimately decide the president. Yes, it is unlikely to ever matter, but the last three centimeters of a kilometer... Is three centimeters. It's also unlikely to win 6 coin flips in a row, but that also happened, eh?

6 PRECINCTS
6 TIES
6 COINS
6 CHOICE OF 'HEADS'
6 TOSSES
6 'HEADS' WINNING

This seems astronomical.

I said from the get go. All the Bernie losers out there should be ready for massive butt hurt when the DNC punks their guy.
Maybe even the DNC knows that not everything can be given away for "free".

The coins were those special brass ones that Bill Clinton hands out when he meets people.

Heads & Tails is his slogan isn't it?

I am thinking that the coin's family was secured in another location with knives to their throats.
The coin had no choice but to land heads up.

Yeah, but Bill usually calls "Heads DOWN"...and "Tail's UP"!
