    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        // When touched, say "Heads" with probability 0.5, 
        // otherwise, say "Tails."
        if ( llFrand(1.) < .5)
            llSay(0, "Heads");
        else
            llSay(0, "Tails");
    }
}

Notes

The random number generator is not a source of entropy.

The sequence of random numbers are shared across the entire process, and not independently seeded. Therefore, the pseudo random number generation is not suitable for any application which requires completely predictable or completely unpredictable results.
