For example, if the bits make up the ASCII sequence "this is random" it definitely is not random.
If you generate enough random 14-character sequences, you'll find it eventually Wink

These sources says 3 or 7. The interesting part is they're both prime numbers.
Reddit shows 7 as a clear winner (28%).

Get one, write down a B or a W, eat it, get the next one. Repeat until nauseous. It's much faster than flipping a coin.
