Random Outcome?

Sometimes I wonder if a 20 horse race is more about Brownian motion randomness than it is about the best horse.

In case it is this year, I went to random.org for the superfecta. :-)

Need to pick one more for the Mercedes.

Thank's for that site. Very interesting, strange how I was fascinated in having his program pick random sets of numbers! Looks like some other interesting stuff on there too.

Wow! I'm truely impressed. True random numbers with an explanation of psuedo random numbers and using atmospheric noise to generate a true random number.

As an aside and if I remember correctly, the discovery of the cosmic background noise from the big bang was initially thought to be atmospheric noise that was causing all kinds of difficulties with the micro wave research that was being conducted at Bell Labs at the time.
