Response to Tourney 2 - Round 1 of voting is over... Round 2 coming up

from Ben Jos Walbeehm (walbeehm@walbeehm.com)
Let's not get into the discussion that numbers picked by a computer can never really be random (at least not in the mathematical definition of the word); for all practical purposes, there really is no difference between having a computer pick 10 numbers (or 10 games, which amounts to the same) and a group of people each picking 10 numbers about which they absolutely have no idea what they stand for. So for convenience's sake, I'd say let somebody or something pick 10 numbers he or she doesn't know what they represent, but if it ties the vote or if it happens to decide the vote or something, I'm willing to help you take the harder way and choose for plan B: 29 3 20 1 4 15 22 7 6 26 (which of course are far less random than any 10 numbers a computer would "choose", although, probably only I would know the meaning of ALL those numbers to me).

Ben Jos.
