Dilbert is brilliant.:D
"Nine nine nine nine."

Also, I can't think of any possible strategy for bingo. It's a random numbers game, where you hope to good god that the numbers you have come up.

so are most things people call "random"
the incorrect overuse of that word has been irking me of late.

i need more work to occupy me i think :D

Yeah, software based random number generators are called pseudo-random because they draw numbers out of a sequence. You can get true electronic randomness, I think, but you have to measure unpredictable electronic occurrences and so it's not possible purely with software. Or maybe it's just closer to true randomness than software, I don't know.
But anyway the position in the sequence is chosen by a seed, and if the seed is chosen in a non-predictable fashion and if the sequence is long enough, for all intents and purposes (read: for Bingo), it's random.

If the numbers are generated on a computer randomnumber generator then sometimes the same sequence appears. I found it really annoying when using one in my electronic countdown game I made on NeoBook.

18 distinct winners... are there even 18 regular posters here at the moment? :p
