Bug ID: 94490
Summary: [HELPAUTHORING] If you create a page with a large
number of paragraphs that appear duplicate IDs
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: trivial
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
If a person makes a single paragraph in a minute, this method of producing a
random ID is very good. But, if a person make many paragraphs without
appropriation of IDs, during a saving all paragraphs get IDs. It is less than a
minute. So the part that changes is the last three digits for this case.
It also proves the mathematical statistics. There is beautiful example in
wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem
For this case, 50% is achieved already at 6 paragraphs.
I put a trivial because it is very easy to get round.
PS: This can be done as follows: Delete the first part of the year ("20"), it
will be repeated another 100 years :) and to add one more random.
