Nope. With an extremely large (probably finite) field of possible sequences, identifying an unfamiliar disguising of a familiar sequence requires a moment of non-deductive insight. If you fail to have that moment, then you can easily grind away at the problem for a very long time with no progress. Equally, if you have that moment swiftly, the problem is trivially easy.
