I have a memory of Jeremy Kyle saying that lie detectors are 95% accurate and then proceeding to test no fewer than 8 Suspects regarding who stole grandpa's savings or something.

My maths isn't what it was but it seems to me that you have a 1/3 chance of getting the wrong answer in such a scenario!
