Comments

For each bit of the golden string that is a 1, write seven consecutive bits and for each 0 of the golden string write eight consecutive bits.

Alternate between 0 and 1. Exclude the first seven bits since we are based at zero, just like the golden string. Heads = 1, Tails = 0.

Examples

			Bit 1 of the golden string is a 1, so bits 8-14(seven consecutive) are the same. Bit 2 of the golden string is 0, so bits 15-22(eight consecutive) are the same. Odd bits of the golden string mean to write 1 and even bits of the golden string mean to write 0.

Formula

Each power of Viswanath's constant (1.131988248...) And V^3 has a corresponding coin flip. Simply take the absolute values of the two possible(+Heads or -Tails) outcomes and choose the flip closest to the value of the power.
