About Random Number
Picking a number "between one and a hundred" is a game everyone already knows, and it is the honest way to run a raffle, choose a seat or settle who goes first when a coin has too few sides. The trick is that a person asked to pick a number is a poor randomiser - we all lean on the same favourites - so handing the draw to the browser keeps it fair.
Set the low and high bound and the draw falls somewhere between them, each value as likely as the next, both ends included. The last several draws stay on screen so you can run a short sequence without losing track, which is handy when you are picking more than one. The bounds and the history live only in this browser and reset on a refresh.
