When is a statistic insufficient according to the factorization theorem?

Can anyone give me an example of when a statistic is insufficient, using the factorization theorem, if possible?

Thanks.

You need to remember that sufficiency is defined with respect to a parameter and a sample. "The average of the first three observations out of a sample of N>3 observations" is clearly insufficient for calculating the overall mean from the same sample.
