Hello Friends! All of the entropy generation talk has inspired me to put together what I hope is a useful aid for generating seed words from coin flips. I suspect something similar already exists; but, I wanted to make my own exactly as I wanted it; and I thought I'd share it. If you think you might be interested in doing this, but it's not exactly clear to you what this process entails, I highly recommend reading the note at the start of the instructions section before going any further. It may easily turn out that this process is not for you. If you already know what you're getting into, I hope to have made the rest of it intuitive enough so that you should be fine to skip the instructions. Instructions:

 Small print (more compact) version: Worksheet:

 Lookup Table:

 Larger print version (for those of us with less than supernatural vision): Worksheet:
Google Docs
Coin Flip Worksheet - for larger print table.pdf
 Lookup Table

Coin Flip Lookup Table - larger print.pdf
 If you find this aid useful or know someone you think might, feel free to share, download, improve, or do whatever else you want to with it.

PS. What I think most would find useful here is that the lookup tables remove the otherwise common necessity of converting binary to decimal before doing the lookup.

1-6 is correct for the column headers I used; but I understand that I've caused confusion. The column headers are indeed 6 bits - 3 on either side of the dash. I simply included the first 1-3 'page' bits as part of the column headers as well because I though it was easier to match to the worksheet that way... but the point is made that it's probably not as immediately intuitive as just limiting the column headers to the column-specific bits... Thank you. I will likely end up changing that.
