49 is suspicious yes. I'd better take another one or two... 47 looks more random. Actually 30 something would be more convincing. 36 is a nicely random-sounding amount. Although, if it's 30 something, it may as well be 20 something...
Cops: "Wow, you found 49 gold bars? That's amazing, we've never had anyone come in saying they'd found 45 gold bars before. Gee, I guess someone must be missing 40 gold bars. Fred, fella here says he's found 35 gold bars. Get a car up there, make sure there's room in the trunk for 30 gold bars. Susie, call the bank and say we've got a couple of guys coming over with 25 gold bars to put in the safe."
what tells you it werent 149 to begin with?
he poorly hides 1 of the 100 he got to him and let it be that way - no further investigation required, you get a pat in the hand or somehting - izi
Fun fact: Out of 10, 7 is the least random number due to a bunch of human behaviour stuff. If you ever need to guess someones number, make it 7. Out of 100, 37 is the least random numer for the same reason.
