Is it possible for a human to simulate a random number generator, just by making up numbers and trying to be 'random'?
8 5 5 1 9 2 9 9 0 9 2 2 6 4 6 1 2 5 2 9 1 9 1 1 1 7 0 1 6 2 9 8 8
That's my attempt. I tried to repeat some numbers as much as a machine would by chance. I doubt I could, but is it possible for any human to actually simulate one correctly, without falling victim to a tendency to choose certain numbers over others at certain points in the pattern?
(Random number generators themselves are only simulations of randomness, since they follow formulas, and once you plug in the system time in milliseconds as a seed in the formula, it becomes so unpredictable it might as well be random.)
