Patrick Chalker isn't the same chalker as the forums Chalker. I thought I heard the ES at Solon say in the morning that as long as the quarter was airborne somewhere in the flipping proccess then it would count but maybe this was wrong.dmis wrote:@Chalker, it would be really great if we could get an official FAQ on this. I did exactly this and it wasn't accepted at Solon.ScottMaurer19 wrote:This is unofficial but Patrick Chalker (national ES) said that the above action is allowed at the coaches clinic. This was one of his recommendations if my coaches are to be trusted. Apparently the flip does not have to occur while the quarter is airborne.SluffAndRuff wrote:What if I use a lever to force it downwards? Basically I'm using a third class lever where the coin is the load and having the lever rotate from horizontal to 135 degrees. So the coin is technically flipping sides while still in contact with the lever, but after the lever stops the coin is airborne before it hits the surface, which means it went from heads -> tails in the action while being airborne at some point...?
PS. I think my battery was undercharged yesterday so my mission didn't exactly work as normal and you may have beaten me.
