Ruby: Using rand() in code but writing tests to verify probabilities?

I think you should separate your goals. One is to stub Kernel. Rand as you mention.

With rspec for example, you can do something like this.

It's best to stub Kernel. Rand to return fixed values.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
