um Geoff, are we dealing with a Finite, or Infinite universe. If you are
setting the rules as finite then id say its worth entering. if you
saying its infinite then I will need a good Brownian Motion generator,
like that say in a good cup of Tea.

But if I was being cheaky, Id just use my camera to take a picture at
any moment, call the RGB values of the image n and say n is random.

Do I win then ?
