Hey sammi! BACK-OFF!!

This one is mine (unless my "Revless" friend speaks up! heehee!)

If I thought things were really rigged, would I have recently got a second "Subscription" to increase my odds of winning so Im at least equal to that bird eating Baloo?? :blue-cool:

For some hard truths about random numbers this Dilbert strip is a pretty funny commentary:

http://dilbert.com/s...mic/2001-10-25/

And it IS true: in a really random sequence ANYTHING can happen. (It's VERY* unlikely, but) John could run the RNG and get the subscribers' list in perfect order, or in reverse order, or all odd numbers first, or all even numbers first, or... (You get the idea.)

What we are all hoping is that the next time (or the time after that...) the random list will come up with our own personal number(s) before any others (which is merely SOMEWHAT unlikely).

======================

* This is SO unlikely that if such a thing actually happened, I expect that John would be emailing the guy who maintains the RNG to ask if it was broken. Or at least preserve that unlikely-looking result (in case it really was true) and run the RNG a few more times to see if normally random-looking numbers came out.

No "SV"!! You can't have one of my numbers!! I already gave mine to "Tundra"...in a moment of Great Compassion for the "Revless Souls" in the World (but, I haven't heard back from him yet.)

But, you can have one of Baloo's numbers though...I just don't know what his numbers are, you'll have to check with him to get it?!?!

Keep It Up!
