int getRandomNumber() { return 4; // chosen by fair dice roll. // guaranteed to be random. }
Hover Text:
RFC 1149.5 specifies 4 as the standard IEEE-vetted random number.
Just update the code once a year to a different number, given long enough time the output will have a perfectly flat distribution.
I mean, how many random numbers can there even be?
Not more than six, at least if you use a standard dice.
