There's something strikes me as very strange about this idea. Tegmark's method is just a means of writing down binary sequences. Being strict, already with binary sequences just 4 digits long, only 37.5% of those contain half zeros. This drops the longer the sequences get. So, with sequences 6 digits long, only 31.25% contain half zeros. With sequences 8 digits long only 27% and with 16 digits only about 19%. If his experiment continued for a year, (365 digits) many people would find that either room 1 or room 0 was dominating strongly. For these people a change in room would seem very odd, a glitch in the matrix that wouldn't be of any great concern vis a vis prediction once 'normality' kicked back in the following night. For others, a change in room would occur at regular intervals and would seem very predictable. There would be the guy who changed room every night. There would be all the guys whose room changed every night except for the one time when it stayed the same. A little glitch is all. In truth, the longer you continued the game and the more people got involved the less chance a person would have of finding room assignment random at all. There would be increasingly few people willing to bet 50/50 on a particular room assignment.
