In the last about 10, or more, "little jobs" that I did for the Dies brotherhood I always get the question of Agatha Cristie's "The Mysterious ...". *ALWAYS*
I don't really mind. I was just wondering, do these come randomly from a pool of questions? If it's random, it is weird, because I get this one every single time. And the other two are a circulation of 5 or 6 questions. I haven't seen a question I don't know for a loooooong time.

Yep, I just confirmed it by going through the records in the database. There are actually 2 questions that are given disproportionately often. That stinks. There must be something wrong with the random number generator in MySql.

I'll shift up the way those questions are chosen in this afternoon's update.

I included a change in today's update that should fix this problem. Please let me know if you are still getting too many repeated questions. I'll analyze the database in a few days to see if the odds are spread out more evenly.
