25 is ‘golden age’ for the ability to make random choices

I&#x27;m 43 - now that I know that the ability to create random numbers could be an indication of having a heathy or youthful brain, I know have enough knowledge to fake this test.<p>If I&#x27;m ever asked to provide a string of random numbers by a cognitive scientist or a doctor, I&#x27;ll be certain to do my best and then apply external randomness to my individual guesses.<p>For example, I&#x27;ll take the last phrase the scientist says to me - &quot;please give me list of five random numbers from one to 10 &quot;, and I&#x27;ll apply the number of letters in each word of the sentence to each of my individual numbers and then modulo the answer to fit the range.<p>That way, with my old-age-cleverness, I&#x27;ll hopefully be able to simulate a 25 year old.

Reminds me of the Aaronson Oracle: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;people.ischool.berkeley.edu&#x2F;~nick&#x2F;aaronson-oracle&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;people.ischool.berkeley.edu&#x2F;~nick&#x2F;aaronson-oracle&#x2F;</a><p>It&#x27;s a simple algorithm to predict human-generated coin flips by exploiting our aversion to extremes.

Aren&#x27;t &quot;look random to somebody else&quot; and &quot;be random&quot; two totally different things?<p>How can they tell that 1234561234 is not the result of a 10 x random dice roll?<p>What&#x27;s the probability of a real RNG being considered better&#x2F;worse than a 25 year old?<p>Related Dilbert:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dilbert.com&#x2F;strip&#x2F;2001-10-25" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dilbert.com&#x2F;strip&#x2F;2001-10-25</a>

When I was 25, I made the choice to quit my job as a hw engineer and travel the world. After a year, I decided to do sw instead. Haven&#x27;t looked back since.<p>It wasn&#x27;t exactly a random decision, but I remember the question was as simple as, &quot;Should I just do it...?&quot;

This makes an assumption that you are not living in poverty. More than age, I personally feel the need to have a sufficient bank balance, which can make you financially independent and empower you to do whatever the fuck you want!

About to hit 25 here, should I be worried or should I just start playing roulette more often?

I wish there was a online test from this article.

This explains my brownian motion.

DoS&#x27;d :-(
