What does it mean for the first 4 numbers to be random? For example, is 27 random? By your method, what is the probability of the first number being higher than 30? What is the probability of the fifth number being higher than 30? If these probabilities are unequal, can we really say the sequences are random? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
