this reminds me about interesting web experiment. there was a page where you got some begging of number sequence, eg 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 ... and you could check if some number belongs to that sequence, and there was a question if you know algorithm of this sequence. the trick part was that most people would assume Fibonacci sequence and they only checked few next numbers of that sequence until they claimed to know what sequence it was. it wasn't it was just another one that just started like that and it was now very sparse, therefore container most of Fibonacci numbers, but most people would only check if numbers that they think they should be there are correct, and didn't try those they would not expect to confirm sequence. this shows interesting thing about humans, that they do not want to do even simple experiments where the result would be a failure
