:: Of course a random number checker like this will report a perfect random distribution if your "RNG" returns the sequence "1234567123456712345671234567...". BTW, shouldn't the function also be given info about what values are to expected? Because if a random number generator intended to emulate a normal six-sided dice actually returns a flat distribution of numbers from 1 to 7 or from 1 to 5, it's certainly not very good :-) --[[User:Ce|Ce]] 21:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

:I guess I knew that greater minds would tear the statistical foundations of this task apart. But that is why I put simple in the task name. The really clever alternative is to write something both more accurate ''and'', easier to understand ;-)<br>
