Here's an interesting one though - technically, a coin is
not a d2, it's a d3 where one side (the edge) has a much lower probability than the others (apparently for a US nickel you're looking at landing on its edge once out of 6000 throws - so you're looking at something like 5999/12,000 for Heads, 5999/12,000 for Tails, and 1/6,000 for Edge.
So... what would an actual d2 be?
