Brain Teasers
Ha, I Win
Trying to determine who should kick off first, my smart-aleck friend says, "Let's flip for it. Heads I win, tails you lose."
I say, "Sure," pulling out a coin and tossing it in the air. The coin lands. My buddy laughs and concedes the kick off to me.
How did I get him to let me kick off first?
I didn't have a fake or trick coin.

Answer
I simply used a coin that has neither heads nor tails (some currencies do not have a distinguishable "head" and "tail"). Therefore, no matter which he called, I could say he lost.Hide Answer Show Answer
