Richardson suffered a plane crash which cost them their lives. If not for a coin toss, Valens life would have been spared. Prior to the flight, Valens and Holly’s guitar player (Tommy Allsup) flipped a coin to determine who would get to fly in the plane chartered by Holly. Valens won, and the rest is unfortunate history.

Surely, dice are the most common random number generator. They are essential to many games, from Ludo and Monopoly to craps and Yahtzee. In the former two examples, rolling a die determines the movement of the player. In the latter two, dice are more central to the game instead of just being a tool.

Yet, his brother Orville was successful.

The objective of this fundraising game is to toss coins at a bottle of alcohol which also doubles as the prize. The coin that comes to rest closest to the bottle wins the game and the thrower wins the bottle of alcohol. In his book titled Grooks, the Danish poet Piet Hein included a poem entitled “A Psychological Tip” which relates to the Freudian Coin Toss. The poem reads as follows:
