I other words, it appears that the state 0 is not followed by the state 1, 2, 3 etc. Correct. The state is used

Oh well, these numbers probably aren't correct anyway. Anyone with a more profound understanding of statistics cares to do the math properly? On second thought, the odds are more like getting the same number in Roulette for about 5 times a row (37^5.18 = 2^33), which seem pretty few. J.

Multiple threads executing all kinds of weird maybe even useless instructions might end-up getting slightly different ammounts of time slices etc... This could create difficult to predict random numbers ? In other words, given enough instructions threads will not execute perfectly

All operations are mod 8000. Math operations allowed: addition, subtraction, div, mod Uhm, wait, are you saying that your target machine has basic instructions for (x+y)mod 8000
