Sorry about that. Part of the problem is we don't have a clear idea of
the end result yet. In short, we are trying to devise a way to test
pseudo-RNGs and see if they are as good as true-RNGs. This is a 6th
grade science fair project my daughter is working on. The idea was to
generate random dice rolls and compare the results.

In fact, because she is supposed to be doing the work and not me, I'm
going to have her ask the question here so watch for her email.

Yes
