Is that Chi Squared is a method to determine if a series of numbers is random and not some secret - closely guarded - math formula for making random numbers.


No, But if you take the Output of you Random Number generator. Load it in to excel, and run Chi Squared on it it will tell you how well it works.
This kind of test would show if your post hardware math truncated out a group of numbers.
