Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am building a program using various
methods of generating psudo random numbers. With reasonable
results. I of course get better results (statistically
speaking), if I use either the inbuilt random number generator
in visual C#, or some other formal psudo random code where the
method is not known to me. This is not my question.  My question
is, given any of the methods used, and given the fact that any
computer generated random number is done according to a
specified formula and code logic, it is not by definition truly
random. Hense the term psudo random.  Given that fact, is it
possible to accurately predict what the number will be. Or at
least predict it more accurately than a good guess. My research
says that anything guessed correctly up to 73% of the time is
really only good guessing. So in order to be considered accurate
prediction, it must be able to show correct "guesses" more than
73% of the time in order to say it is not a guess.  Assume we
dont know the seed, or if we do
