A RNG is a character or string generator whose generation algorithm prevents prediction of the next output if one knows all the previous outputs and the algorithm. In other words if you know everything there is to know about the generator your odds of predicting the next output state are even - p

Perhaps a simpler example. Let's look at a 'fair' coin and what that means in the real world. A normal coin (or any nDx for that matter [1]) for short sequences is random. In other words if you record a game sequence and then replay the game the die sequence won't have any statistical correlatio
