Random(): Well, I took a look under the covers to try and find out what might be going on. The d6(1000) results did look goofy and there was a good reason why. It turns out that for all types of dice rolls, there is a limit of 255 dice that can be rolled at once. As far as the quality of the random number generator, it appears we use "rand". Thus we are inheriting any imperfections found in Microsoft's "rand"
