​Suppose that you're my ​lookout and we've agreed that heads means the
enemy will attack by sea and tails means the enemy will attack by land. You
find out they are attacking by land but you have no way of sending that
information to me. You could flip your coin and yes my coin will flip the
same way as your does but you have no control over how your coin will flip,
it's just as likely to come up heads as tails. So I'd do just as well (50%)
if I tossed the entangled coin in the trash and just flipped a regular
coin, there would be a 50% chance it's correct either way.
