Well clearly there’s a modulo operation in there and nobody knows how they work
Imagine that instead of two numbers you select a million numbers, and apply a zip algorithm to that sequence to obtain a file then you map the first byte of that file using (first byte) mod 9 + 1, intuitively there must not exist any correlation between consecutive tries of this strategy. Looking for this example I realized that instead of using n1+n2 you should use a non commutative operation to improve the strategy, but when using just two numbers the addition suffices.
Depends on the algorithm they use to find patterns.
You're mixing up unpredictable and random
Fair, but so did the person I replied to. For the purposes of what we are trying to do, unpredictable is what matters.
