Have you ever had those moments in your life when you just couldn't decide what road to take? In our life as a student, as an adult and as elders, we all have those times when making a decision just becomes as difficult as climbing up a steep mountain. You are confused between two things and you feel like both of them are equally important. Concluding, therefore, becomes great trouble. Well, in such situations, the traditional coin flip technique that has been used for centuries still works the same.
How
does the coin flip method work and from where it is originated?
All
you have to do take a coin out of your pocket, name the two sides, that is,
Heads and Tails of the coin as the two options between which you are stuck. You
then toss the coin in the air and see what face of the coin is visible when it
comes down. You then go with that option. We have been using this method for
years now, but did you know how it actually originated? Let us have a look.
Who
was the first person to use the coin flip method?
The
history of the coinflip method dates back to the mid 19th century. It is also
known by the name of flippism in some parts of the world. Initially, it was not
a person who used the method first. It was actually a comic character. In the
1953 Disney comic which was published by Carl Barks, the idea of flipism or
flippism was mentioned. The name of the comic was Donald Duck and it featured
the idea of deciding by flipping a coin. But in the original idea, the coin was
not a necessity. Any other object that had two sides such as dice or anything
similar could be used for doing the same.
