I just ran it 1000 times and got the following distribution:
1 161
2 167
3 173
4 170
5 169
6 160
std deviation = 5.16
So no, it doesn't seem to be perfect but it's probably good enough
for most applications.
Out of curiosity, what would the std deviation be if the random was perfect?
A perfectly even distribution would be for every value to show up
the same number of times. In that case the std deviation would be 0.
I thought you meant "perfect [ly random]" not "perfect [ly even]", sorry.
