You can.
So if you had to tell me honestly, your guess of what the likelihood is that your decision will be, yes, I'll move in with my boyfriend.

60% yes.
Okay, so heads is going to be move in, tails is going to be not move in.
You ready?
Yeah, I'm ready.
We also do a very important option on the website, which is to offer best two out of three if you really want to make sure the gods don't make a mistake.
Do you want the two out of three option or do you want to go with just one cause?
Okay, here we go.
Heads you move in, tails you don't.
Here we go.
What were you hoping for?
You're hoping for heads?
It was heads.
