    I don’t think you have a very clear grasp on what random means, and 212 wasn’t assigned.

      You have no understanding of randomness if you think that 100 is equally random as 212 in our decimal system. No, not every number is equally random, no matter how often you repeat it.

        I understand you have a fetish for numbers that are multiples of ten, but that doesn’t make them special. Picking a number out of a hat is as likely to be a 9 as a 100.

          Acknowledging that powers of a number systems base are special in that system isn’t something I ever thought people would disagree with.

          Why do you think we have concepts like “percentages”?
