Interesting. I didn't know there was a second degenerate state. Marsaglia hasn't documented the math too well.

Are you able to construct similar generators with base 2^16 or 2^64 or with a different number of terms? A generator with one term less may be implemented in a particularly efficient way in assembly language.
