Looks quite right what is written there. ?."0 (10#100) 46 46 46 46 46 46 46 46 46 46 ?. (10#100) 46 55 79 52 54 39 60 57 60 94
illustrates that the random seed is always set to the same value (7^5) each time ?. is executed.

To handle the new rank information, it will need rewriting in conventional format. So I have a genuine reason to know why (? b.0) and (?. b.0) are different. :-) On Fri, Jan 24, 2014 at 12:49 PM, Brian Schott <[email protected]>wrote: > > > > > > > Bill, > > To my surprise, you are correct, as the following examples suggest.
