>Re the randomizing code: if I read it correctly, starting thisform.nTot at 75 then decrementing after each hit means 75 can only ever appear first in the sequence since thisform.nTot then decrements to 74; and 74 can only appear first or second, etc etc. This means you can anticipate a preponderance of lower duplicates that can often follow very similar sequence as nTot decrements towards 1, while higher numbers are infrequent and always earlier than (77-n) in the sequence if they do appear.

But if you remove duplicates, it's less random?
