Like a good scam story? How about one about scamming a quiz show? This one is a few years old, but I just ran into it today, thought it was good enough to share. Enjoy.
Scamming a quiz show

Never knew about the story behind the story, but part about the Press Your Luck board being “solved” has been a well remembered legend over the decades. Stunning that the producers never thought that someone would notice that the “random” patterns weren’t actually random.
I thought this story sounded familiar. This American Life did a show about it in 2010.
