Did he do it blindfolded, or was there something about the video that I missed? I remember doing all 30 "levels" of Simon when I was 11 or 12 years old.
some random thoughts.. first, probability of 28 sequential colors without a red is about 0.0003 (3 in 10,000). unlikely, but not farfetched. Also odd that you "win" at 31. I guess the answer is that the sequence is stored in 4 bytes and it ran out of space.
I calculated 72057594037927936 to 1, assuming there is a 1 in 4 chance that it will be picked but because colours repeats it is infinitely improbable that it will occur. Thus exemplifying the fact that statistics prove only that none will light up.
