[Newbies] Generating a predictable 'atRandom' result for testing

[Kyle Hamilton]

If you can test it for lack-of-randomness, I would presume that  
you're not trying to test the randomness.

I would create a wrapper to 'get number' -- if the test harness is  
loaded and a flag is set, have that wrapper return an entry from an  
array or such, and if not, use atRandom.
