Most of the pseudo random number generators have a period of some kind, or a cycle after which the numbers just get repeated. Its possible that a low seed like 2 or 3 actually causes a smaller number of numbers to appear within that period, thus making it easier to spot the pattern. Also, 2 and 3 specifically are prime numbers and also easily divisible by a large amount of numbers. This could also contribute to those specific sequences being more "psuedo" than "random" Best, Damien
