I suppose. By responding you've automatically your name is automatically
added to the script, by hand. My hand. However, due to your attitude to
winning I've put a marker next to your name.
Cheers
James.

RF (here my abbreviation for "random function") holds a random
numeric value, currently fixed at 2020. If it wasn't fixed I'd use
the alternative suggested in the comment, being the value of
nanoseconds from system time. It's fixed because there are only
three entrants, and two of them agree the third should win. count
holds the number of entrants. The % symbol means modulus. A
modulus calculation is a way of taking a big number and wrapping
it around a small number until it's no larger than the small
number. RF % count + 1 therefor provides the index of the winner
in the list of names.

But I'm pretty sure that's not how it should work.
James I don't understand the logic of the selection. How's it work?
