* ''Literature/OnceUponATimeInHollywood'': Whenever Cliff fights someone in a "best of three" contest, he always lets his opponent to win the first round while offering almost no resistance, counting on the man to use his best technique. The opponent will use this same technique on the second round 19 times out of 20 and will also assume that Cliff is helpless, allowing Cliff to easily counter it and seriously hurt the guy, giving him a major advantage going into the third round. This is how Cliff fights Bruce Lee.

** ''Sherlock Holmes and the Twelve Thefts of Christmas'' by Tim Majors revolves around a puzzle challenge Irene Adler has set for Holmes. Because she wants it to be a real challenge, it's deliberately designed to not be entirely amenable to his normal method of rational deduction. But because she wants him to have a chance, even if he's uncomfortable with it, she's set things up so these difficulties can be overcome with assistance. By the end it's become apparent that she has almost exactly predicted not just the thought processes and actions of Holmes himself, but of Dr Watson, Mary Watson and even Mrs Hudson.
