I was very interested when watching this, and also the ‘explanation’ show that was on a few days after.
I cannot see how it is possible to find patterns in random numbers, and he can use phrases like ‘deep maths’ all he likes – it is still an impossible feat. Also, for the test subjects’ predictions to throw out an average number of 2 (one of the balls was #2) then just imagine how many people would have had to have predicted 1 just to bring the average down far enough. Even just one person predicting #49 in this sequence would send the average off and above 2.
