  2. Manhattan address algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_address_algorithm

    Manhattan address algorithm. The Manhattan address algorithm is a series of formulas used to estimate the closest east–west cross street for building numbers on north–south avenues in the New York City borough of Manhattan. [1][2]

  3. Fictitious telephone number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_telephone_number

    Fictional Telecom has reserved voice over IP numbers in the 206 (Seattle), 323 (Los Angeles), 415 (San Francisco), and 646 (New York) area codes for use in films, TV and radio dramas. [34] Occasionally, a real number serves as an Easter egg , as the publisher directs a number they own to a promotional message, a contest line or other content ...

  4. Random.org - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random.org

    Random.org (stylized as RANDOM.ORG) is a website that produces random numbers based on atmospheric noise. [1] In addition to generating random numbers in a specified range and subject to a specified probability distribution, which is the most commonly done activity on the site, it has free tools to simulate events such as flipping coins, shuffling cards, and rolling dice.

    This is a list of neighborhoods in the New York City borough of Manhattan arranged geographically from the north of the island to the south. The following approximate definitions are used: Upper Manhattan is the area above 96th Street. Midtown Manhattan is the area between 34th Street and 59th Street. Lower Manhattan is the area below 14th Street.

  7. Non-uniform random variate generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-uniform_random_variate...

    Non-uniform random variate generation or pseudo-random number sampling is the numerical practice of generating pseudo-random numbers (PRN) that follow a given probability distribution. Methods are typically based on the availability of a uniformly distributed PRN generator. Computational algorithms are then used to manipulate a single random ...

  8. Random number generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation

    Dice are an example of a mechanical hardware random number generator. When a cubical die is rolled, a random number from 1 to 6 is obtained. Random number generation is a process by which, often by means of a random number generator (RNG), a sequence of numbers or symbols that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance is generated.

  9. Global Consciousness Project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Consciousness_Project

    Global Consciousness Project. The Global Consciousness Project (GCP, also called the EGG Project) is a parapsychology experiment begun in 1998 as an attempt to detect possible interactions of "global consciousness " with physical systems. The project monitors a geographically distributed network of hardware random number generators in a bid to ...
