an enemy ten times the size of his own. Along the way to the battle field, the
troops stopped by a small temple to pray for victory. The general held up a
coin and told his troops, "I am going to implore the gods to help us crush
our enemy. If this coin lands with the heads on top, we'll win. If it's tails,
we'll lose. Our fate is in the hands of the gods. Let's pray wholeheartedly.
" After a short prayer, the general tossed the coin. It landed with the
heads on top. The troops were overjoyed and went into the battle with high
