I know the algorithm for the AR4 random generator. There's no way to influence it, except changing the initialization vector or the password. |

How lucky are you guys?
In my search for evidence of supernatural phenomenon I found this:

Basically it's the belief people can influence number generators. Even though I support the existence of things we can't explain, by the present this thing seems ridiculous in that regard. At best it can be a luck game. So I tried it.
My first attempt surprised me a little. Got a 29 score, with chances 1 out of every 26 tries. Surprise me a little, I thought it was a fluke considering my luck so I tried again. As expected my second and third try were chances out of 2 and 4.
I tried for a fourth time and got this.

I'm considering playing the lotto now, who knows? What can you guys get?

Did you discover this through the Terence McKenna NPR (at least I think it was NPR) interview?

no, I really don't know who Terence McKenna is so I doubt it.

I don't find that significant at all. I would just sit there, and look away from the screen, and it just did random movements left and right, nothing surprising.

Of course. It's random, or a least pseudorandom as the website claims. It's going to move back and forth regardless if your there or not.

I think that website is bull
to prove it I try the practice session backwards. I choose right but I am trying to make it go left. But no matter how many times, or how hard I try, the line is always predispostioned to go right from the get go. The vice versa is true if I choose left.
If I stare blankly at the screen, it goes in the direction choosen anyways. It does not, according to the website, stay close to the center! Liars liars!

It is random, there is no predisposition. I chose 'right' every time and it went left as many times as it went right. Originally Posted by juroara
