First one was easy. I got the middle one wrong but I only spent about five seconds thinking about it. The final question is broken to begin with. Heads side is technically heavier than tails (at least in America) I could not to take the bet because the realistic increased probability of tails is enough of a deterrent.

But you get to flip the coin, so you can put that to your own advantage. Besides, the bias in flipping coins is only around 1%, which is far less than the 2x difference between what you might win and what you might lose. (Incidentally, when flipping coins, the important factor is which way up the coin starts – weight is only more important when spinning the coin).
