There are actual mathematical theorems (Ramsey theory, in
particular Szemeredi's theorem and its variants) to the effect that
if you choose your data from a large enough set, you will be able
to find any pattern you want.
However, much of this applies only to sets whose size is beyond
astronomical.
Best wishes to Teresa.
