What TC is referring to is that we just selected the possible next president of the United States by flipping a coin. Hillary Clinton, accused of being one of the most corrupt politicians in history won 6 out of 6 coin tosses, a 1 in 64 odds of happening event.

Let me say that again: our political system is so fucked up we resorted to flipping a coin, (no, not metaphorically, we took a little piece of metal and threw it in the air) and even that process may have somehow been compromised.

There's a 1 in 64 chance of any of the possible outcomes of 6 coin tosses. 6v0 is as special as 4v2. (This is wrong! wrong! wrong! Bad cetacean!!)

//6v0 is as special as 4v2.//

No it isn't. 4v2 is 15 times more likely than 6v0.
But 6v0 is not outside the bounds of probability.

//Hillary Clinton, accused of being one of the most corrupt politicians in history//

Who by? The league of political exaggerators?
I'm not saying she's not corrupt - I have no idea. But I'm pretty sure there's some pretty stiff competition.

Indeed I stand corrected. I suppose I meant to say that order is important, but it isn't in this case.

If the coin lands on it's edge, is it a do over ?

I'm going to go master the art of induced coin precession.

If one person calls it in the air it's fair. If it's called before its flipped, the flipper can manipulate it.

// I'm pretty sure there's some pretty stiff competition //

You are correct. Hillary is a paragon of virtue compared to, for example, David Lloyd George, or the likes of Boss Tweed ...
