Why is the bulb that is causing the string of lights not to work is always near the opposite end that you begin?

That happens because you start in the wrong place. LOL Start in the middle and work your way out from there and you will find it faster. LOL

Have even more fun. Just randomly select a bulb and change it. You may hit the bad one first. Sort of like Russian Roulette....

It kinda like whys the knot always in the middle of a 100 ft extension cord L.O.L. Hope you find the problem, And wishing you a merry festive season (or Christmas) depending how politically correct you are.
Regards Robert

I.m not much of a drinker either - but after finally finding the problem I broke out the eggnog and Wild Turkey!

If you start in the middle, how do you decide which way to go first? LOL "Cause if Murphy is on the job either direction you go will be the wrong way!

Easy you do one left then one right then the next left then right again till you find it or run out of bulbs

Several years back I was cleaning out my rental house for a change of renters. As usual there was all sorts of stuff left behind. It was in December and there was a large box of Christmas lights. There must have been a dozen strings, a couple were 20 feet long. I decided to get them all working and drop them off at St. Vincent DePaul for someone's Christmas. I worked all afternoon replacing bulbs, put each string in a separate plastic bag and labeled it, "works".

After making the drop off, on my way out an employee stopped me and asked if I had been helped. I replied, "yes I dropped off a big box of Christmas lights for someones Christmas". He said, "we get a lot of those but many times we have to pitch them if they don't have the latest UL label". ....Now you tell me...
