2 sides to a coin
1/2 of them is heads
therefor 1/2 of total is heads
492 times 1/2=246

the closest one is B

I'd say B. but that's only because I divided the number of times he flipped the coin by the number of sides it has, 2, and came up with 246. The closest number on here to that is 231 or B. I hope I helped.
