Hi Lee, This solution occurred to me but I rejected it because it would involve a number of changes to the OP's existing code such as :
Making the Random object static would necessitate that the "foo" method be static too. Then it can no more be virtual because a method cannot be static as well as virtual void. A better way is to create a Random object in the calling code (the void Main()) and pass it to the Factory class. However, I rejected that method too in the interest of keeping the code as similar to the existing implementation.
