Typically the last few would be more or less in the same position and same with the first few. I tried this at least 30 times. However, if i run this 3x or 4x in a row, THEN look at the results, it's far more random.</p> <p>Maybe I'm not understanding what is actually going on...Is this just going through the array in order, saying "value 1 is before value 2", "value 2 is after value 3", etc? If so, then isn't there an inherent flaw in it, as its most likely that the first few will stay in the beginning of the choices?</p> I found the same results.

Maybe I’m not understanding what is actually going on…Is this just going through the array in order, saying “value 1 is before value 2″, “value 2 is after value 3″, etc? If so, then isn’t there an inherent flaw in it, as its most likely that the first few will stay in the beginning of the choices?

Those results look pretty typical to me.</p> Sometimes random isn’t as random as you want it to be. Those results look pretty typical to me.
