I have a coin.
I also have a long sequence of bits. "In Search of Lost Time",
in French, encoded in utf8, then Harry Potter (all books, English,
ASCII) and gcc source code (gibberish, gzip compressed).

This sequence is known, I put it on webpage. While I'm waiting
for lawsouit, I can toss a coin.
If the coin lands on head, I will post the sequence on usenet.
If it land on tail, I will post (NOT sequence), binary complement
of the sequence. Every 1 as 0 and every 0 as 1.

You are waiting for this sequence to see, if bit #546737536
of posted sequence is 1 or 0 to decided if you want a cake
or an icecream.

How much entropy is in bit #546737536?

Is there any difference betwen bit #546737536 and tossing a coin?
Tossing a coin has 1 bit of entropy.

If you know the answer, second question.

You decided, before the sequence was posted, that 546737536 a
is ugly number and decided to look at bit #9999999 to decide
whether or not buy a soda.

How much entropy is in this bit?
Less than a coin?

And now, you remember that you still have to eat a dessert,
so you look at bit #546737536.
Is there more entropy? Or these two bits are _corelated_
and if you know #9999999, you known #546737536 without
looking. There never be drinking a soda and eating a cake;-)
