Abstract
Imagine that you were presented with two closed boxes named C1 and C2, both producing a tape with a sequence of sixteen zeros and ones whenever a button is pressed. The reader is informed that one of the boxes uses a random generator to produce the tape, while the other box uses a periodic generator. The reader’s task is to determine, using only the tapes produced by the boxes, which one, C1 or C2, contains the random generator. The reader presses the button and obtains:
C1 sequence : 0011001100110011 ,
C2 sequence : 1101010111010101 .
