&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How can I know that the numbers the computer generates are truly random?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Computers never creates true randomness, this is a fact. Some people might say that the computer follows the instructions given by the programmer, this is true aswell.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to please the players with as much randomness as possible, the number generator is integrated within a timer.&lt;br /&gt;
This means that the computer generates a random number within a given sequence each time this timer ticks. For our sake, in this particular program. The computer generates a new number each 1/1000 of a second.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would go out on a limb here and say that it's rather impossible to predict an exact sequence of numbers that's going to be generated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's time to put this to the test. Bring your "A-game" and see if you have what it takes to beat the computer.&lt;/p&gt;
