The Computer Shootout site uses this one:


int nextRandom() nothrow {
     enum int IM = 139968, IA = 3877, IC = 29573;
     __gshared static int last = 42;
     return last = (last * IA + IC) % IM;
}

void main() {
     import std.stdio;

     foreach (i; 0 .. 100) {
         nextRandom.writeln;
     }
}
