I don't know how many balls they have and whether there is replacement to tell you the actual number, but there shouldn't be anything special about this one among all the other possible sequences, except that it's more likely to be guessed.

- oh_sigh 6y agoYes, but there are vastly more non-incrementing sequences than incrementing sequences.
- fortran77 6y agoActually, it's more! 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 10,11,12,13,14,15 and even 2,4,6,8,10,12 would have had the same amount of attention and scruitny. So "what are the odds that a sequence of numbers would come out that would look 'funny' to many people" is now not one out of n, it's several hundred out of n.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoI was thinking what's the odds that any number drawn will have a special relationship to the number drawn before, where the degree of specialness is determined by how many people hearing the number think "huh, that's weird"
