    But still as you say not actually fully random
    I've spent (lost?) far too many hours of my life working with Monte Carlo analysis to have faith that 'true' random will ever come from a computer, however small or large the output required, but as alluded to above, the samples being dealt with make questions around the validity of random largely pointless. The OP looking at this from a point of view of fixing, or 'law of averages' needs to take a step back and get some learning done on the maths before getting caught up in a position he can't get close to proving. Clearly a receptive guy, so I'm sure he'll already have taken some of the points on board.

    EDIT: Then again, the fact he's taken a version of one comment around the nature of true random to solidify his absurd position, suggests he'll likely never take any points on board unless they align with his prior guesswork.
