randomness & 01/10

bit stream. For instance, if your detector typically has some runs of zeroes, then after a 10 sequence, a 01 sequence is more likely than another 10.

But you are looking at the stream in pairs - so whether or not you see another 10 or 01 depends on whether there is an odd or even number of zeroes before the next one. /-----------------------------------\ | Karl L.
