Which one invented the coin flip? Which invented backfitting?

EACH one of them took a lot of crap to advance knowledge too. FOLKS are so afraid of change but it is ALWAYS going to be there.

The philosopher Hegel ( a good old Taoist) recognized the yin and yang of ideas. One concept (thesis) inevitably generates its opposite (antithesis) and their interaction produces a new concept (synthesis). Holsitics over and over.

get with the program ken..it's way beyond the flip.. now we are into the wobble!! ;)

The backfitting is in the ",........"

That’s true. I'm holding onto the old while working on the new.

the wobble;
Possible Influencing factors.

for non spin release in stationary air on a flat, smooth surface.
1. Center of gravity (its angle to and above the plane at the point of release).
2. Coin Brinnell hardness factor
3. Plane Brinnell hardness
4. Surrounding air temperature,humidity and elev above sea level.
5. Weight
6. Coin edge type (chamfered, round, square).

Analysis approach.
Study each factors singularly and in combination with each other.
Test analysis by predicting wobble using predefined conditions and measure success.
.
More than somewhat like handicapping.
