  • \$\begingroup\$ @Vioz- I am assuming that the RNGs are all not truly random, and they don't need to be. What I mean is that if the PRNG was made truly random, it should be able to produce the library in its entirety. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 14, 2015 at 14:45
  • \$\begingroup\$ "Write a program or function which outputs a number of page excerpts from the Library of Babel, with a newline between each page excerpt. " I don't understand this.

    \$\begingroup\$ The only part of point 3 I'm certain I understand is the first sentence. What do you mean by "twice in a row" and, in particular, what is the distinction between that and "consecutively"? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 14, 2015 at 15:08

    \$\begingroup\$ Ok, so it comes down to "There must be a space immediately following every full stop and comma, and a letter immediately following every space". Modulo the cases which would make it contradict point 4, which allows non-alpha characters to end the page. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 14, 2015 at 15:35
