: The task with built-in RNGs doesn't necessarily map. There's no guarantee that the built-in RNG is a linear congruential generator; that's just the most common implementation option. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 15:42, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

OK, What's the task

Not to be impatient but so far this is a nice explanation of LCRNG's but there is no task.

There are other tasks with LCRNGs like Random_number_generator_(included) which pertains to what is built in.

What do we need to do to solve this task? --Dgamey 01:06, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
