In groups of 3 they just oscillate       up and down, with the upper and lower peaks almost equal in every 3rd       number.              Make a graph and it looks like a terrible excuse for randomness.              Graph the output of random.org and it looks great.              --       Defund the Thought Police              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
