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!

Dr. Haahr, just a quick thank-you for your Random.org website. I run a weekly contest for elderly residents of retirement homes in the US, and I have to select a prize winner from all the people who submit correct answers. So every week I assign sequential numbers to all the correct entries, and use your website to select the winner! Just thought you'd like to know your website is a valuable resource for us. Thanks again.
