This lesson was inspired by the following viewer question:
\"How do I create Random Non-Consecutive numbers with Arduino.
P.S. These are the best tutorials that a complete idiot like you could ever make, thanks.\"

*Let's overview exactly what we will talk about in todays episode:*
Talk about pseudo random numbers.
Identify the problem - using an Arduino sketch to demonstrate.
Discuss how we might solve the problem.
Write an Arduino sketch that solves the problem.
Review what we talked about.
*Pseudo Random Numbers*
Before we answer the viewer’s question it is important to talk about what a pseudo random number is.
A purely random number in the mathematical sense can't be predicted. The microcontroller that the Arduino uses (and for that case, most computers in general) can't really create pure random numbers.
What they create instead are called pseudo random numbers. These are numbers that appear to be randomly generated, but if studied over time a predictable pattern emerges.
The bottom line is that the random numbers we create with Arduino can be predicted.
Now there are clever ways to create pseudo random numbers that act like the real deal – you can learn about one method in our video tutorial talking all about random numbers – but for this discussion, let’s return to our viewers inquiry.
*Identify the Viewer’s Problem - use an Arduino sketch to demonstrate.*
Ok, so let's go back to the viewers question, he wants to generate random numbers, but he never wants the same number generated two times in a row.
