My solution was to generate random sentences in my head. I then iterate through the letters of each sentence, and if the letter is M or later in the alphabet, I select right. If the letter is before M in the alphabet I select left.

According to English letter frequencies [1] that gives a right probability of 3.0129+6.6544+7.1635+3.1671+0.1962+7.5809+5.7351+6.9509+3.6308+1.0074+1.2899+0.2902+1.7779+0.2722 = 48.7294 % even though you summed 14 of the 26 letters (a 13-13 split would lower the probability to 45.7165%).
