Make hard decisions easier by flipping a coin.
Use the result unless you changed your mind halfway the flip
Coin flipping is also sometimes called “flipism”,
described as “a pseudo philosophy under which decisions are made by flipping a coin.”
The term “flipism” originated from a Donald Duck comic “Flip Decision” by Carl Barks, published in 1953.
Or as Piet Hein (the poet, not the privateer) said:
“Whenever you’re called on to make up your mind, and you’re hampered by not having any, the best way to solve the dilemma, you’ll find, is simply by spinning a penny.
No – not so that chance shall decide the affair while you’re passively standing there moping; but the moment the penny is up in the air, you suddenly know what you’re hoping. ”
The Google search machine will flip a coin for you if you type in: “flip a coin”
“But suppose you throw a coin enough times… suppose one day, it lands on its edge.”
