Like counting cards in Vegas, but this one was used to beat a TV game show out of some big 💰:

"After weeks of painstaking scrutiny Michael realized that the bouncing prize selector did not actually move randomly; it always followed one of five lengthy sequences"

The show was in 1984, the article from 2011. Via Hacker News.

Great read.
