Random problems : from the coin toss to climate change

I will discuss a few problems that involve randomness , chosen randomly (?) from the following
 : (i) the probability of a coin landing on a side (ii) optimal strategies for throwing
accurately, (iii) the statistical mechanics of a ribbon, (iv) the intermittent dynamics of a
growing polymeric assembly (v) fat tails from feedback. (vi) floppy and stiff random networks.
