Mark ran the Unix random # generator {/dev/random} continuously, producing thousands of numbers per second, until I, not looking at the screen, said stop. Then Mark took the last 2 digits of the last 16-bit integer that was within the range 1-48. That’s how we reached 15. The Unix random # generator is seeded by every action you take on the computer, giving it very high entropy which creates true randomness.
