Mathematical Patterns That Eventually Fail

Original title on HN was "A mathematical pattern that fails after about 10^43 examples".

An even more impressive example:

10^1000 - x > 0 where x ∈ ℕ.

Fails after (10^1000)+1

The interesting facts are non obvious ones.

Could you say what you find impressive about that? I'm not seeing it.

It was tongue in cheek, based on the fact that the original HN submission title was too generic...

Presumably the pattern would have to be interesting to merit a submission.
