When I first fell in love with probability and statistics (high school), the first thing I would do on any new computer I came into contact with was run a chi squared distribution program on it so I could find the bias of the random number generator in the system. Then anytime I used the rand() or RND() or whatever that system called it I would apply the correction to ensure a better "random" distribution. I would love to find a copy of the program I wrote to do it. I decided to make it interesting to watch too - it painted an ascii pyramid on the screen and dropped "balls" from the top center and randomly hit each "pin" on the way down much like a pachino machine. You'd get your distribution at the bottom via a count on each final chute! Jay West
