        You are probably thinking of Anscombe's (artificial) examples. There
are actually four sets, three sharing the same X values.

        These can be found in Hand _et_al_'s Handbook of Small Data Sets
(Chapman and Hall, 1994) on page 40. The original article is in the
American Statistician
(1973) pp 17-21.
