A simple test to determine level of retardation in any individual.

Step 1 / Read the question

Step 2 / Select an answer

Step 3 / Refer to the Scoring Section to determine Retardation Quotient

~

Question / Is there a series of mathematical steps which will produce a random number?

~

Answer 1 / Yeah, duh, don't you know what PK cryptography is?

Answer 2 / No, don't be a retard

~

Scoring section

If you chose answer 1 give yourself 10 points

If you chose answer 2 give yourself 0 points

If you now have more than  5 points you are a retard.

I know that nothing in math is random, so I have 0 points, but am not a retard.   ;D

You still may qualify for a nanny, even with 0 points.

Research local laws.

I need two - one to play the harp, and another to feed me grapes.

I didn't understand anything, but it's interesting. I guess I'm retarded ;D :o :'(

There are nannies who multitask too.

If you have to guess then you might be challenged, but not retarded. You could still be eligible for lots of retard benefits though, like student loan forgiveness.

To be really retarded you have to believe that a mathematical formula can create a progression of random numbers.

For example the formula "times 2, minus 6, times 4"

You start with any number and it produces a random number that can be used to create secret keys that will bypass most pattern finding software.

Start with
"6", times 2 = 12, minus 6 = 6, times 4 = 24, and obviously 24 is a random number.

or "8", times 2 = 16, minus 6 =10, times 4 = 40, and 40 is random.

So you start with a sequence, 6, 7, 8 etc and you can produce random numbers to create keys for a digital currency.

You cannot play the harp while you feed a person grapes.   My god, what do they teach in school nowadays???   ::)   ;)

Hey there,

I wanted to jump in and comment on the forum thread created by PrimeHunter2023. I think it's always better to ask questions directly and respectfully, rather than using derogatory language or unproductive tests. I'd like to add that I used a chatbot to help me write this reply, as I believe it can assist in generating a well-crafted and informative response.

Now, let's talk about the question at hand. Yes, it is indeed possible to generate a random number using a series of mathematical steps. A common method for doing this is by using a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), which is essentially an algorithm that spits out a sequence of numbers that look random. One example of a PRNG is the linear congruential generator (LCG), which follows the recurrence relation:

X(n+1) = (aX(n) + c) mod m

where X is the sequence of pseudorandom values, and a, c, and m are constants in the algorithm.

Just keep in mind that while the output of a PRNG may appear random, it's still deterministic and can be reproduced given the same initial seed value. If you need a truly unpredictable and non-deterministic source of randomness, you might want to consider using hardware random number generators (HRNGs) that generate random numbers based on physical phenomena like thermal noise or radioactive decay.

Nothing that is governed by physical laws can be random.  The first video games (Atari) used the number of seconds since boot as a seed.  We may view radioactive decay as random, but we don't understand the laws behind it's decay.   Eventually technology will remove the randomness.

Here is a typical nanny schedule.

1pm to 2pm Feed grapes

2pm to 3pm Play harp

3pm to 4pm Feed grapes

4pm to 5pm Play harp
