		<description>In order to make a &quot;fair&quot; game, I suggest the following procedure:

Player 1 does not choose Heads or Tails but {HT} or {TH}. Remaining one (HT / TH) is for Player 2.

Assuming that observations are independent, we have the following probabilities:
P{HT} = p(1-p)
P(HH) = p^2
P(TT) = (1-p)^2
P(TH) = (1-p)p

In other words, first we flip twice if we get {HT} or {TH} then we have a winner; otherwise we flip (twice) again.</description>

		<description>I sent this to my Ultimate Team, I got this link back:

May or may not be relevant.  I suspect it is relevant because the disk is weighted.
