Talbot's probsoln package uses his generator to modify/pick the problems
and I would like to use it to pick n and i randomely in the main file.
This is the closest I have come to something I could use and, for all I
know, might be exactly it.
The trouble is that I cannot read his code and, even less, if need be,
extract his pseudo-random number generator to modify it for my own purpose.
Very grateful and hopeful regards
