Interesting approach. From their Github page (https://github.com/postspectacular/rnd.farm/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/postspectacular/rnd.farm/blob/master/READ...):
We'd like to do a little experiment and see if a large (or even not so large)
group of people can collectively generate better quality random numbers than
an algorithm. Intuitively one would think and hope so [...]
It's not clear that individuals can reliably generate true random numbers when asked to do so (see answers at http://cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/3591/how-well-can-a-human-generated-random-number-be-predicted http://cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/3591/how-well-can-...), but this is asking whether a group of people can do better than that, and is capturing mouse and keyboard keyboard input. It'll be interesting to see how using a group compares to using a single individual's input.
- uvesten 11y agoI would guess that the group aggregate input would be very much farther from random than the individual input. Let's see.
