But is the "perceptive reader" actually correct? There are many pictures online of d100 dice clearly showing a '100': http://www.amazon.com/Role-Playing-Dice-S

  Yes, my comment (prior to deletion) said and rand(n), depending on implementation, may explicitly exclude n. I looked it up for C/C++ first, but it was slightly confusing, and there are articles that go into quite a bit of depth about how rand() can be misleading. perldoc was my next stop, as I was almost positive that perl's rand explicitly excluded the upper bound (and it does). My recollection of 100-sided dice was that it was often printed as "00", so you could take it as either 0 or 100, depending on your need.
