Take off your undergarment throw it by one wall. Assuming the room has 4 walls this is your marker for wall "0". The rest of the walls going counter-clockwise will be walls "1", "2" and "3".
Close your eyes and spin in the room until you lose your orientation then stop and open your eyes. Record the number of the wall you are facing in your head.
Repeat spin and remember next new number.
Repeat spin and remember next new number.
Repeat, repeat, repeat until you have reached the maximum amount of numbers you can remember sequentially. You will have a sequence like 2,1,3,0,2.
Take your numbers, concatenate them sequentially, and translate from base 4 (ex. 21302) to base 10 (ex. 626)
- botbooty 14y agoThis assumes that the number of times one can rotate before losing one's orientation is random. Presumably it is not only regular, but you might even get better as you practiced. Both of these would conspire to produce substantial autocorrelation in the generated series.
- lukesed 14y agoNumber of rotations will probably be clustered. (degrees rotated mod 360)/4, not so much.
