Forget the coin and the balls — does the nucleus decay? You're not missing any knowledge; there isn't any.

This is definitely the most interesting example, but it's not obvious that a situation where the relevant information is fundamentally inaccessible is a situation where you aren't missing any information.

It's your best bet for a scenario where you can be sure that nobody else has more information than you do, though.
