Don't you just love obfuscated math?
ohh yesss I do ! :-)
graph represents a buckyball wireframe), then the random number generator degenerates into a coin-flipper generator. So it's not that farfetched.
but in my example, the generator is used as a base for generating full length int numbers. So, unless there is a device that's very good at creating 1 bit entropy so fast and so well that people use it as a core source of randomness, the case really is contrived. hmm, well I guess this could happen after all. So the bug might have had a non-zero probability of happening (not much more, though) Anyway, the code is better with the bug fixed :) -- Samuel
