#11857 — Making random numbers. An idea.

How to make them for example?

First need: Functions for calculating with as big numbers as possible.
Now it is needed to calculate values of sequence: 
√1, √2, √3,√4,√5 and so on.
It will take numbers from the digits in n=5(for example) number groups.
In the meanwhile it is needed to get mouse positions, to make the sequence more random. The looking for mouse locations starts, when the page is loaded. Mouse location x,y will produce 5 digit number. When getting new random number, the idea is make the sequence as random as possible. So it would be good to put as neighbours 2 different sequences numbers - the √y and mouse location number. When this is not possible, then the sequence will take as next number to √y produced number the √(y+1) produced number.

These are not random numbers.

Neither are these.

These values will cluster around interactive features (links, buttons, 
drop-down menus, etc), because that's where the mouse pointer spends 
most of its time.

If it's a sequence, it isn't random.
