On Monday, I have to decide whether to eat ice cream or not. After a little thought, I decide it's all right to eat ice cream because <reason>. The reason is a lame reason that my mind came up with because it really wants ice cream.

On Tuesday I only eat ice cream with 50% probability.

Nisan, please see the revised version of the question.

On Tuesday, I'm still picking my threshold "manually". Let's say the quantum random number generator I use can give me a random 1-6 number, just like a 6-sided die, so I'm not stuck with 50/50.
