Understanding Randomness random number is a throw of the dice.
A computer can also simulate dice throws,
therefore generating random numbers. Some random numbers are more random than others. The less random a set of numbers is the more coherent the set is. For example the set of numbers 222222 is 100% coherent - not random at all. Where 222573 would be 50% coherent. Computers can generate random numbers and then analyze how random they are. Theoretically random numbers generated by a good computer should be almost purely random. So the more coherent a set of random numbers are the higher the odds are that they are not random.
Here we have a graph with 11 hours of random numbers and the odds against
the numbers being coherent, i.e. these numbers are very random.
