SUMMARY:\,"\,"\nUnbiased Coin Tossing With a Biased Coin"
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Santanu  Dey\n\nAbstract: \nI will discuss some algori
 thms for simulating a flip of an unbiased coin by flipping a coin of unkno
 wn bias. We will discuss efficiency of several algorithms\, where the expe
 cted number of flips is our measure of efficiency. We will also outline th
 e proof of a conjecture by Hoeffding and Simons that there is no optimal a
 lgorithm.\n
