> For the binary-math confused: a simple Right-Shift by 1 is /logically/ a *2. Actually, it's a divide. To me this looks like you're just adding a second layer of hashing. This doesn't make the output any more "random", it just makes it more processed. EDIT: As a bonus, I think your iterated divide-shifting algebra compresses the distribution to actually make it _less_ random than it originally was. No proof here, just a strong suspicion.
