>>A fun one. I want to code for a random number from 0 to 35. The challenge is to get that code in less than 6 lines (seven for a tie) as a friend of mine has demonstrated in our other language LINC. Any help will win me a beer!

Why don't I have to reset the RAND() after each call?

The manual says:
'RAND( ) returns the same sequence of random numbers if you use the same seed value for nSeedValue the first time you issue RAND( ) followed by subsequent RAND( ) function calls without nSeedValue.'
