Random and whrandom

[Emile van Sebille]

Could you post the code?  I've heard that said about
Wichman-Hill, but I don't see it in this, eg:

import random

freq = {}

for i in xrange(36000):
    d1 = random.randrange(0, 6)
    d2 = random.randrange(0, 6)
    x = freq.get((d1, d2), 0)
    freq[(d1, d2)] = x + 1

results = freq.items()
results.sort()

print '\n'.join(map(str, results))

I ran this several times, and without doing the math on the
results, it certainly appears sufficiently random.
