I want to generate n sets of 6 random integers from 1->70 where each set of
6 integers sums to 172

Here's my first try:

ts =: 3 : 0

b=: 2 6$0

for. i.y do. a=:1+6?70

b=:b,a

end.

b#~172=+/"1 b

)

Test it:

ts 1000

27 60 5 24 53 3

38 35 3 15 57 24

16 29 19 50 4 54

This generates some 6-element vectors that sum to 172 by elimination, but I
don't have control of how many vectors it produces.


I want to change the logic in the loop so that it keeps generating sets of
6 random integers, testing whether they sum to 172, saving just the sets
that sum to 172, until I have saved y random sets that sum to 172, and then
exits.


Any help would be appreciated.
