150 presses and 51% here, just trying with my fingers on my smartphone :)

And now to 200 with 49%. Feeling not so subtley smug.

And now to 400 with 50%. Admit I'm getting bored now.

Now the question I have to answer, is that because of my professional experience and history, something inherent in my mind, or was it...just random?

edit: just consciously trying to be random, not using any deliberate or external tricks.

Second question: what percentage of the population behaves like me and is it qualitatively different from the population that doesn't?

I don't believe I actually am random, but whatever it is i'm doing the results are somewhat statistically unlikely. Is knowledge/experience with randomness itself sufficient to defeat this method?
