THE MTH$RANDOM ALGORITHM

•To come up with a good "random" initial SEED value to start the generator, use the generator itself to produce a random SEED value to start our random number generator with! Select an initial nonrandom SEED value, then run the random number generator a few cycles to generate a random SEED value. We then restart our random number generator with the new random SEED value, and the output is then a properly initialized random sequence.
