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)

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. –Donal Fellows 15:42, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Still there is no task see "insert task here". It's basically encyclopedic. --Dgamey 02:29, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

On the task

I kinda remember something about not all seeds being good? a seed of zero for example? --Paddy3118 05:07, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
