Here's what is probably a bad idea, but...

If one only needs a total of 768 random numbers, why have a random number
generator in the program at all?  Generate them once.  Use them as an
appropriately defined array of constants in the program.

I can see many programs sharing the same set of numbers, for instance.
Could help toward being able to share both book and learning files (if hash
signatures are used to store the data) between different programs.
