# Look for patterns? no
Observe patterns? yes

It's the same kind of thing playing the quizzes Artamnesia and Rob do, I get a few questions in and I can pretty much predict what the answers will be without even looking at the pic to decide if it's fairy or scary or whatever the quiz is ;)

That's not saying anything about them in particular, just an example of how people do things.
I'm not saying I always get it right, but I see the way they work, they can't give a lot of the same answers in a row, their attempts to 'randomise it' make it quite predictable for me :)

# yeah
but a lot of the bigger tests (the SAT and ACT, which I used to proctor and sometimes flip through the extra booklets) are all psuedorandomized by computers.

They're slightly more difficult. For me anyways :)
