A Random Cool: Random.Org’s Random Number Generator
Have you ever had an argument with someone you do not trust? You know the kind, the person with whom you want to settle an issue through the flip of a coin, but you know they’ll find a way to cheat. Just as the Internet provided us with increased data storage options, Cloud-based entertainment and more sophisticated mapping services, now it provides unbiased coin flips through Random.org’s True Random Number Service. Settle bets, stymie psychics, or simply confound your friends by showing interest in a random number generator with Random.org’s True Random Number Service!
Random.org is a cool, entertaining, website and the coin flipper is only one interface that the site offers. Random.org’s True Random Number Service is an esoteric bit of random number generators that may be used for fun or science. Distinguished from other random number generation sites, the True Random Number Service from Random.org does not come from a complex equation that may be predicted with enough sampling (and a mathematical mindset).
Instead, creator Mads Haahr generates the random numbers through a complex radio receptor array that uses atmospheric noise. In fact, the software for the True Random Number Service is not available because it requires the non-computer input it receives from the radio wave observations! This is true randomness and Random.org makes it very cool.
The True Random Number Service has a variety of interfaces, the best of which are entirely free. The coin flipper presents simple “heads” or “tails” for one to sixteen coins at a time from an inventory of eighty-eight different coins. Virtually every country connected to the Internet has a representation of its coins. There are also a few ancient civilizations and novelty coins available. There is a playing card shuffler which allows those who need to settle an issue through a game of high card (or anything else for which you would select a single card from a 52 or 54 card deck) to randomly pick a card. There are also random dice rolls, which could make your games of RISK or Yahtzee go much more unpredictably than playing with actual dice.
There is also a very simple, very direct true random number generator at Random.org that may generate columns of random numbers from -1,000,000,000 to 1,000,000,000! It does not take much playing around with the system to discover just how well it works!
Random.org is an easy site to use and it does not require any additional computer support to operate any of the gadgets and widgets it provides. With over a billion random bits generated, Random.org is the most stable random element on the Internet!
