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!

Firstly, thanks for Random.org. Excellent! Secondly, here's what I use Random.org for. To protect me from keyboard and mouse loggers when I'm at an Internet cafe, I use Random.org to give me a page of random numbers, from which I pick my password pieces and copy and paste them into a log in form. That way, the next time the page is served the numbers will be in a different place. Thirdly, to make this even more secure, I would love to be able to get a page of randomly organised letters (a-z) (and maybe even punctuation!) for my passwords. Thanks again!
