  What he wanted was that a certain pair of values is converted to some
value (always the same value). Each time the function is called with a
certain pair of values, the same result is returned. This value should
be "random" in the way that there's no (easily) visible connection between
the input values and the result.
  For this rand(seed(VAL)) works quite well. It returns a value from 0 to 1
which is seemingly not related to VAL.
