Abstract: One tosses a coin with an unknown parameter p a large number of times and then you have to guess whether p is rational or irrational. Can you do it? The answer is related to various things such as the so-called Baire Category Theorem as well as well-approximability of irrationals by rationals in elementary number theory.
