Default Re: How do i find if a number is not random ?

You can never know for sure. But there are tests you can run that determine how likely the pattern is to have been randomly generated by testing various distributions on the numbers. See things like csrc.nist.gov/rng/nissc-paper.pdf and http://www.ciphersbyritter.com/NEWS2/TESTSBBS.HTM.
