Mr Bartos was interested in a prediction made by Persi Diaconis, Susan Holmes and Richard Montgomery, a group of American mathematicians.

巴托斯先生对一组美国数学家佩尔西·戴康尼斯，苏珊·福尔摩斯和理查德·蒙哥马利所做的预测很感兴趣。

Diaconis, now at Stanford University, found that if a coin is launched exactly the same way, it lands exactly the same way.

现在斯坦福大学的迪亚科尼斯发现，如果一枚硬币以完全相同的方式发射， 它会以完全相同的方式落下。

About a decade ago, statistician Persi Diaconis started to wonder if the outcome of a coin flip really is just a matter of chance.

大约十年前，统计学家 Persi Diaconis 开始怀疑抛硬币的结果是否真的只是偶然的问题。

But using high speed cameras and equations, Diaconis and colleagues have now found that even though humans are largely unpredictable coin flippers, there's still a bias built in.

但是使用高速相机和方程式，Diaconis 和他的同事现在发现， 尽管人类在很大程度上是不可预测的抛硬币者， 但仍然存在内在的偏见。
