Let's imagine a guy who claims to possess a machine that can each time produce a completely random series of 0/1 digits (e.g. $1,0,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,...$). And each time after he generates one, you can keep asking him for the $n$-th digit and he will tell you accordingly.
Then how do you check if his series is really completely random?
If we only check whether the $n$-th digit is evenly distributed, then he can cheat using:
$0,0,0,0,...$
$1,1,1,1,...$
$0,0,0,0,...$
$1,1,1,1,...$
$...$
If we check whether any given sequence is distributed evenly, then he can cheat using:
$(0,)(1,)(0,0,)(0,1,)(1,0,)(1,1,)(0,0,0,)(0,0,1,)...$
$(1,)(0,)(1,1,)(1,0,)(0,1,)(0,0,)(1,1,1,)(1,1,0,)...$
$...$
I may give other possible checking processes but as far as I can list, each of them has flaws that can be cheated with a prepared regular series.
How do we check if a series is really random? Or is randomness a philosophical concept that can not be easily defined in Mathematics?
