    1912 or 1997 or 1887. That's my three goes, the machine has just eaten your card.

    #2 1111 6.016%

    Persons date of birth i.e. dd/mm is also incredibly popular.

    With three guesses you'll get something like 25% hit rate if you know the persons date of birth......

    Mine came in an envelope separate to my card that I had to scratch off to see, I memorised that and have used it since. Isn't that what most people do?
