Then again i had exactly this in mind and in OP tasks i did repeat a number here and there.


Yeah but even then most people cap the repeats if they’re faking. If 100 people have to roll 10 random numbers, it is very likely some people will have 3-4 in a row of the same number. It’s less likely none will. My brother in law teaches stats and he runs this scenario with a seminar he teaches. He then runs the results through a simple formula he built in excel and can ascertain who faked vs. did it for real with about 95% certainty IIRC. I love little games like that haha
