Reminds me of IQ tests I took as a kid.

"Finish the sequence" with 4 options and "no pattern" as the choices.

It becomes "what does the moderately intelligent person who wrote the test thinks counts as a pattern" not the intended exercise at all. There was never enough samples to even guess at a real pattern in them.
