Quizmaster Fallacy

When unsure in a multiple-choice quiz, you should always pick the answer that doesn't follow the pattern of the others.
For example, if the question is "What year did the US and Britain go to war?" and the answers are:

A) 1700
B) 1750
C) 1812
D) 1850

You should always pick 1812, because it doesn't follow the pattern of round numbers.
"How did you know that was the right answer?"

"It didn't follow the pattern of the other answers, why else would the Quizmaster have put it there? It's the Quizmaster Fallacy in action!"
