I don’t see how 2-4-6 is about falsifiability, so I may be misunderstanding your request. In the sequences, it was described as an example of positive bias. Clearly at every step, if the answer was “no” when you expected it to be “yes” the theory would be falsified.
I agree, but I see a connection to falsifiability in that most people don’t even try to falsify their theories in this game, even if it would be possible.
A much better example than the 2-4-6 game would be one where the most obvious hypothesis was unfalsifiable.
