That seems fair enough to me. Now that I understand the rule, I'll know not to make the mistake again, but if we want to talk about modifiying the rules as to avoid any confusion, I think rule #3 "..should always be correct" should be changed to ..."MUST always be 100% correct." That way a newbie who hasn't gone through the most recent golf will be more wary when using rand... Thanks for the help. -Riley (o0lit3)
