About this app
Confirmation Bias is an interactive logic exercise built around the classic 2, 4, 6 number sequence. Enter triples of numbers and receive yes-or-no results to identify the hidden rule, then review whether your tests tried to disprove your hypothesis or only confirm it. Additional activities show how to choose tests that split candidate rules most effectively.
