&lt;p&gt;To make it fair I have given each correct entry a random number between 1 &amp;amp; the number of correct entries. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;nbsp;have used a random number generator to pick a number &amp;amp; fittingly if not just spookily the number chosen was.... 13....&amp;nbsp;(I would have&amp;nbsp;asked PDB but he&amp;#39;s in South Africa helping build the accomodation for the English soccer team). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This obscure number generator reminds me to the story &amp;quot;His Master&amp;#39;s Voice&amp;quot; by Stanislaw Łem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Somebody used the white noise out of space (radio waves) as a random number generator and discovered a signal that was repeated again and again...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And quite a few scientists and military people tried to use this letter from outer space like ants discovering a dead philosopher. They knew how to make a good use out of him (as hungry ants always do ....)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;iPoditiv&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
