Random · LESSON 2
Fake random vs. real random
A computer random number can actually be a fake, mimicked by a rule. Numbers whose rule a person can spot are "fake random."
Quiz
Which one is the fake random?
Two machines made a row of numbers. One is fake random with a rule a person can spot. Tap the row where you see the rule to mark it as fake.
Fake random has a rule a person can spot — like +1 each step, or multiples of 2 — so the next value is predictable. Real random has no rule, so it stays irregular.
