Hey RANDOM.ORG,

For the last three years, my internet friends do a March Madness Bracket competition. Whoever correctly guesses the most amount of wins.

Being a Canadian, I know little about US College Sports, and Basketball just isn't my sport.

I said I was gonna pass and they said. ‘No one gets a bracket right, give it a try, you could guess.’

Then I though how Random! So, every year I use a combination of random questions about universities I have never even heard about (which university is closer to the continental US, Which University has a bigger endowment, which university has a bigger student population)

For universities I have heard of, I used the Random.org coin flipper to flip 29 coins and then the majority of heads or tails wins. I also look away and click the flip again for a random number of times.

My success has been very limited to say the least! But I do have fun and I enjoyed reading your history of Random.org.

I do have to count the heads or tails manually to make sure one has won. But if you wanted you could add a total of heads or tails.

Anyways thanks for being so random I couldn't make a March Madness bracket without you!

To make better progress with learning spoken numbers in French—the goal is to get instant recognition plus fluidity in speech—I used Random.org to create a nice list of numbers which is long enough for me to use over and over again without fear of memory effects. I then imported them into a Google sheet, added a column of periods to help pause when spoken, then had an Android all read them out. The app, I realised later had a record function, so now I have an 6MB Ogg file of 2,000 random integers spoken in French with 1 second pauses between each!

At the root of it is your service. Thanks!
