Confirmation Bias! Interesting. I learned a lesson!

The rules of that test might need to be rephrased to be completely fair, however. I assumed there was a game aspect to it--that, you were penalized in some way for each guess, or that there was a penalty for guessing one that didn't fit the sequence (a "no" answer). I might have approached that differently being made to feel comfortable for guessing wrong.

As a teacher, I go out of my way to make sure my students know it's okay to be wrong.
