================================================================

here are 18 groups of data ,and they are selected at random from 000 to 999

based on these numbers ,can you figure out the inner relationship among these datas,and try to predict the 19th group of data



Re: Visual C# General random number problem

Dejavu, I've seen this question before in this forum. If these numbers are really random, then there is no relation between the numbers. That means it's impossible to predict the next number. If it where possible it would mean that numbers are not random by definition.




Re: Visual C# General random number problem

Yes. As mentioned. It should not be possible to predict the next number - as defined in random, the numbers should be randomly selected between 0 and 999. The .NET Random generator has some limitations, sometimes some sequences of numbers reappear after a certain amount of requests... But that's another story.

I have the answer:

19:420

But I'm not going to tell you what the alhgorithm is.





Re: Visual C# General random number problem

micvos

No no no. Your wrong. It's:

19:311






Re: Visual C# General random number problem

ShellShock

I think you must be using the AfghanistanBanistan algorithm, whereas my solution is based on the Jabberwocky protocol, which has been proven to be superior in 98.99% of cases.

I grant you that it is not clear from the original post whether this is one of those 1.01 % of cases.





Re: Visual C# General random number problem

But that algorithm doesn't use Metzel invariance correction. Look at number 5 en 11 in the serie. Clearly you must see that I'm correct.




Re: Visual C# General random number problem

ShellShock

Is that the Metzel invariance correction with the Mornington phasing I have heard great things about it and must give it a try.

I'll let you know if I win the jackpot in the lottery this weekend.





Re: Visual C# General random number problem

abcdefgqwerty2

why not just download a real random number generation dll or read contents in from other program or pipe other program results in.




Re: Visual C# General random number problem

micvos

Yeah, that's right with the Mornington phasing correction. It's very easy to execute. Just drop a thousand papers with numbers ranging from 0 to 999 into a big hat, and pick an arbitrary number. You'll see that 311 is the number that's picked.

what arithmetic way predict the 19th  group of data

my-email:zhaoheng110@hotmail.com ,communion  

 ShellShock :what is AfghanistanBanistan algorithm  

micvos : what is Metzel invariance correction

Random result :    19:204

try to predict the 20th  group of data

Re: Visual C# General random number problem

ShellShock

Weeeee - I think I have a bite!

Well, I didn't win the lottery.

Micvos - I think I was using the wrong sized hat. Can you be more precise than "big" (Mine's a size 12).





Re: Visual C# General random number problem

micvos

Walking fish,

ShellShock and I are just joking. What you ask is impossible. You cannot predict a random number. Because if you could, it would not be a random number.

Greetings,

Even though this was one of the funniest threads I've ever seen (as duplicated as it is!), walking fish, you need to understand what you ask is NOT POSSIBLE dude, and it should be clear by now... Unless you're really a fish that can walk, in which case this thread is quite impressive!
