http://phys.org/news/2016-03-mathematic ... ought.htmlI actually believe the dice generators derive the numbers from other sources...alien signals or something, but certainly if the benchmark for random number is faulty...its difficult not to assume there's a possible fault in all random numbers.
This is a surprise to many of you, who steadfastly hold that the dice are always random. Sorry.
(This could have been better...I have no time right now.)

Isn't CC getting the random numbers from random.org? Those are based on atmospheric turbulence, not on prime numbers. Hence, this finding has no bearing on the randomness of the dice rolls here.

CC has not gotten their numbers from Random.org for about 4 or 5 years now... keep up with all of this, please...-Jésus noir

Noted. But with the possibility of bugs with the new release, I'll think I'll stick with the old version until the new one has been properly field tested.
If it isn't broken why fix it?

I'm outsourcing my roles to a third world country. Granted when I Auto'd a stack of around 10000, it took around 5 hours to get all my results back from them, and my turn ended up timing out, but it still works pretty well!

I get my dice from a random number generator that generates a random number between 1 and 1 inclusive.

I've chosen to not use dice in my rolls but, finally making use of my degree in philosophy, each game is decieded by Socratic debate. While nude.
