Another procedure based on a similar problem I worked on with a friend: you both pick positive integers a and b, then add them together to create c. Either sqrt(c) or sqrt(c+1) is irrational and the fractional digits provide your random numbers. If you need a new sequence, you take some digits from the current expansion and sqrt() them again.

Might not be unbiased, but good luck proving it.

Can you calculate the digits in your head without help?
