So?
This means the algo only works in serial contexts, not in parallel ones.

#55Does weather have free will? Do dogs or wolfs have free will?
Asking to test your free will is like saying "Test how much you're possessed by the Devil" or "Test your mind/soul/spirit".

#56If you're left handed, use your right hand. And vice versa. I scored around <= 0.3 consistently.

#57At first I was stuck at ~0.95 but I was just striking the keys really fast but then I concentrated and looked at the keys and really tried to feel which key I wanted to press and it worked. I was able to score lower ~0.4. I'm computationally irreducible for now.
Weird. When I tried to just "type random" without looking at the keys, it was routinely getting me around 75%. I tried looking at the keys as you described, and my score immediately dropped to around %50 and was even below %50 for a bit. Then it crept back up to around %60 when I started talking to a co-worker while typing.

There's been a number studies that showed that humans are bad at random number generation. e.g. "Humans cannot consciously generate random numbers sequences" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17888582
