Go up one level in this thread


 What you are saying isn't totally correct for most PRNGs. Even if you use the
Mersenne Twister the number of bits that you can safely use decrease if you just
combine the output of a series. In the MT case I think the number of safe bits
decrease to about 53. But this is very paranoid limits.
