int getRandomNumber() {
 return 4; // chosen by a fair dice roll. guaranteed to be random.
}

I’m worried about relying on remote servers for random numbers, especially for cryptographic purposes. There’s no way to verify that you aren’t the only person with access to those numbers, and it’s fairly difficult even as the sysadmin to ensure that they’re logged nowhere.

Instead of returning a random number, what if we make the program guess?
