Flip Sides

Let’s use the analogy of the coin. A simple coin. Fair chance of getting both, probability 0.5 for each side…
SiDE ONE of the coin, decides that, after some point of time, it feels like letting the spinning coin fall on its side; because it thinks that it has found something stable to land on.. and that, this side can satisfy its, er, desires requirements :P
SiDE TWO of the coin, however, feels that its just getting warmed up, and doesn’t want to land. “Let the coin spin.. Spin..” - whispers SiDE TWO of the coin… You’re just getting started with the fun..
Question: What are the chances that the coin will fall on SiDE ONE?
