# anyway - seems as you're not going to ask me about it
my good idea is this... you know how people are always looking for random numbers and it's actually technically quite hard to generate a truly random number...

well - I've solved the problem.

I picked a number in my head, at random and the answer is 7. For ever more, when people need a random number they can use 7.

:D

# this will revolutionise the internet and banking and everything.
now that I've standardised the random number we can all forget about that problem and move on as a species.

# Okay - better idea...
a random number hotline!

I'll set up a premium rate phone line which you can phone when you need a random number...

"press 1 if you would like a whole random number, press 2 if you would like a random number between 0 and 1 press * followed by 1 to 9 to receive a random number with between 1 and 9 decimal places."
