Okay, here's one for 4 AM on a Monday:
Imagine a coin. It's weighted, so it lands on heads 90% of the time. You flip it 9 times, and it comes up tails every single time. What are the odds it'll be tails on the 10th flip?
Most people say it's "due" for heads. But it's still 10% tails. The coin doesn't remember. Our brains just want a pattern where there isn't one. Makes you wonder what other "patterns" we're seeing that aren't there.
