 these are calls to random stuff, or so it seems! No wonder different
 hardware gives different (pseudo?)random elements. If it were tests I'd
 say they'd be marked {{{# random}}}, like
 {{{
          GroupAlgebra(DihedralGroup(6), QQ).random_element() # random
 }}}
 not sure about examples in this case though. Or else, if these random
 elements are actually predictable, this could be a bug in the pseudorandom
 source.
