Not a desperately urgent request but a quick solution would be very nice - it's about a Biorhythm program

Yes, you're right. I forgot to mention, besides radioactive decay, more 
basic methods taht also can give random numbers. However, what nowadays 
is used as random numbers are practically always pseudo-random numbers 
(i.e. in all simulations) that's one of the reasons predictions, based 
on models are sometimes way out.
