List of Probable Passcodes on Someone Else's iPhone

You’re hanging out with your friend/significant other/second cousin twice removed, and absolutely killing the conversation with your finely tuned anecdotes when they excuse themselves to the bathroom, thoughtlessly leaving their phone behind. You’ve been presented with a golden opportunity: For the next 90-120 precious seconds, the haven of personal data stored on their cell phone belongs to you (sort of). After a shorter-than-you’d-like-to-admit moral dilemma, you swipe the screen, prepared to engage in all sorts of backstabbing hijinks, when drat! A lock screen. The only thing standing between you and posting that hilarious Facebook hack/taking 500 selfies/texting every single one of their contacts “will u plz diarrhea in my mouth?” is 10,000 possible 4-digit combinations. Thankfully, like the plot of a Vin Diesel movie, human nature is predictable, and your friend’s passcode can probably be narrowed down to one of these highly probable combinations.
