Can you fool a computer at generating random numbers?

Mildly interesting - but determining if a sequence of maybe random numbers actually is random is hard.<p>I'd like to see people talking about the DieHard tests, and potential problems with it. Or about the needs for different types of randomness for different applications - modelling requires large quantities of random numbers but needs to be able to recreate the same sequence later. That would be very bad for cryptography. Games need unpredictability, but true randomness isn't great. Music shuffle systems are often made less random to prevent jarring changes.

Blog got it wrong for the real coin and my guesses.

I can't tell, they both look totally random to me! You stumped me!<p>Spooky huh?<p>--<p>Am I wrong in thinking that this will only work with at best a random coin flip precision? Not to mention that the few flips people will be willing to make means you lack any significant amount of data to make such a statement.

This seems to link to the result page with no data; the actual starting page seems to be at <a href="http://www.datagenetics.com/blog/january12013/" rel="nofollow">http://www.datagenetics.com/blog/january12013/</a>
