Here is a visualization of how the lines of your original code are
executed: http://goo.gl/uRRTu.  Click on the "Forward" button there to
see the next line of code that is executed. You will see that in your
original code, the statement: "Random_Number = random.randint(1, 100)"
which actually generates your random numbers is executed only once.

Hope that helps your understanding.

Best,
Amit.
