It's amazingly easy to tell whether a particular long string of random numbers is really random or was generated by a person asked to give random numbers. You can use some of the same insights to predict random digits sequentially generated by a person with better than 10% accuracy (if you can hear the digits as the person generates them). Part of this is related to the Gambler's Fallacy.
