Possible issues with random number generators for calculator apps

[pier4r]

Well I am reading just now your topics about rng (page 30-35 of this forum). Nice work with excel and Matlab (why not on the calculators?)

From there I checked the rng of the family "linear congruent" and they do have a fixed pattern (in parallel planes). Their usage should be fine for small, non crucial, applications.

Namir side questions for you : while I believe that whatever personal exploration is important for understanding a topic, your "new" algorithms are really new or are labeled as "new" as in "I searched for a while and I did not find anything similar?" (this would be still a problem, how does one know if he has searched enough? Is one searching day enough? Ten? One thousand?)
