The George Marsaglia mental pseudorandom number generator method:
- Think of a 2-digit ‘seed’ number.
- Multiply the second digit by 6 and add it to the first number.
- Repeat once.
- Use the right-most digit of the new number as your random number.
If you chart the results using a spreadsheet you can see a weak pattern emerge but it’s not easily human-predictable, which is what makes it useful to me.
Is there anything about how they originated upon this method?
Reminds me of 2FA or OTP generated codes a lil bit
Lastly, this is what I’m talking about!!! Right oN
Is there anything about how they originated upon this method?
I haven’t seen anything about this method specifically, but Marsaglia was a mathematician who studied randomness his entire career, so I assume it came about from that.
If I were a narcissist, given the scenario, how would my actions be different from what actually happened.
I’m not great at interrupting negative behaviours currently, but this helps me recognise them after the fact.
