    That's about what I would expect from an almost real set of random numbers.

    You mean almost reel, right? 😛

    -- did you catch the dupes?

    Yep... and the dupes are appropriate for such a small set of random numbers. Consider the simplest of all random number systems... Black and Red spots (with the occasional Green spot or spots) on a Roulette wheel... what would you guess would be the maximum number of times that, say, Black would show up consecutively?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
