Hi

Just now finished designing my new random number generator. So thought of conducting a jackpot contest for you all so as to advertise my new random number generator. So here goes the rules:

Rules:-

(1). 5 credits for one entry.
(2). Unlimited Entry accepted.
(3). Send the credit with the comment as New Jackpot Contest and post the amount of credits here too.
(4). As this is a promotional offer contest. I will be giving 80% of the credits collected by this contest to the winner.
(5). The Contest closed on 23rd Feb 2008 14:30 IST (GMT +5.5) hours and the draw will be taken on 23rd Feb 20:00 IST (GMT +5.5) hours.
(6). I will pm the winner and he has 48 hours to claim the prize money.
(7). As a bonus your name will be displayed in my signature for about a week.
(8). For proof of it see a sample contest result in my signature.

People are not going to enter contests that are chosen by a pseudo-random generator.
You can easily work out the random number chosen by checking the last number chosen (which is prominently displayed in your signature).

what you exactly mean by a pseudo-random generator.
And about the random number displayed in my signature...that a sample number displayed.
nearly 2 more days to go for the draw and the random number script is being tested and modified then and there.

But soon i'll be holding a contest like no other.

What's this fuss about true randomness? Perhaps you have wondered how predictable machines like computers can generate randomness. In reality, most random numbers used in computer programs are pseudo-random, which means they are a generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula. This is fine for many purposes, but it may not be random in the way you expect if you're used to dice rolls, roulette wheels and lottery draws.

current prize = 8credits lol

The ordinary random number generator function available in php is not being used here. I am currently perfecting a formula for deducing the random number.

People I need more response for this.

Donate and try your luck.................

sohailamir - you stole the idea off me, and I stole it off QweneQ (I have no idea who he stole it off)

One of my friend asked me to do a small project for generating true random number. So i started the to code it. My friend asked me to release it as a product in my site. So to popularize it i got the idea to have a jackpot contest. Thats this........................................

You cannot mathematically generate a truly random number.
Maybe you could let your script connect to random.org, use the random integer generator (which is randomized by atmospheric noise), and output the result?

 

[sunils]

Thought of it...but i want to code it myself........thats why doing some research in this area............................
Edit:
Guys a small change in the contest.............

I have previously stated that the random ticket will be drawn by random number generator which i will be coding. But there seems to be a bug and i am in the process to remove it and it would take another week.

So i have decided to use the service of random.org for random number generation............

The contest is still open and need more response for it......................................
