100 coins were dropped and got scattered inside a dark place. 90 of the coins fell with heads facing up and the remaining 10 coins fell with tails up. You are asked to sort the coins into 2 piles. Each pile should have the same count of tails-up coins.
How is it possible?

There are 100 coins on a table; each coin has a heads side and a tails side. There are 10 heads and 90 tails showing. You cannot see the coins or feel for which side is facing up. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to divide the coins into 2 piles so that both piles have the same number of heads.

There are 100 coins placed on a table in a dark room, out of which 20 coins are showing tails and 80 coins are showing heads. The task is to divide this set of 100 coins into 2 groups (not necessarily same size) such that both groups have the same number of coins showing the tails.
