    Well,

    Assuming that the disc is horizontally symmetrical, we can say that the probability of the disc landing white side up is 1 in 2 times, or 0.5.

    Because we are just concentrating on the 16th flip, the other 15 don't really matter.

    So our answer is pretty simple: 0.5 or 1/2.

    The 16th flip has a 50% chance of landing white. It doesn't matter what the first 15 flips were, the probability for each flip is 1-in-2 (black or white). That would be fraction 1 over 2, or 1/2
