for step one, I will rip code straight out of my old coincidizer vb program... only now with the new timer seed range 46000-48000

pseudocode (for my own reference later)

for seedNum = 46000-48000 step .01

  rnd(-1) 'reset list position

  Randomize(x)

  myPick = INT((1000-1+1)*rnd+1)

  while

        counter=counter+1

          myPick=nextHistoryDraw

          myNextPick = INT((1000-1+1)*rnd+1)

          writeToFile myNextPick, nextHistoryDraw, X value

          IF myNextPick is not equal to nextHistoryDraw, writeToFile "chain broken at iteration#",counter

                  get next x value and start again

          IF nextHistoryDraw=lastHistoryDraw, run one more iteration of myNextPick as myActualPick

          writeToFile, "chain complete, next draw should be", myActualPick

  End
