#12Is this truly live or did they batch random numbers ahead of time?
Technical Details section of help explains "we buffer batches of coin flips in advance to ensure a responsive experience. Your coin flips are always drawn directly from a quantum circuit, though no necessarily in real-time."

#13Maybe I am so disconnected from the rest of reality, I count as absolute, non destructive observer?

#14This isn't quite that but I guess it's a first step.

#15Why does it work? Because even if p(0) ≠ p(1), p(01) = p(10).

#17Nice idea, but watching the spinning coins made me a bit nauseous. I had to go away from the page.

#18Tangent, but interesting: how do you get fair samples from a biased coin? 1. You take a string of biased samples like 001011100101 2. you split it in pairs 00 10 11 10 01 01 3. you keep only pairs with a zero and a one in them 10 10 01 01 4. You assign 0 and 1 to them, e.g. 1 1 0 0, this is a fair sampling from an unbiased coin Why does it work? Because even if p(0) ≠ p(1), p(01) = p(10).
