Randomizer
Spent a lot of time trying to generate 4 random digits from 0-5.
As the program only gets a single seed to generate the nubmers from, I had to figure out how to generate the digits fairly and independently.
Finally settled with:
RTC = current time
digit1 = RTC % 6
RTC = RTC / 6
digit2 = RTC % 6
RTC = RTC / 6
...
They should be fair and independent. Aren't they?
