It's not random if you're forcing it to be uniform. May as well skip the math and do this instead: Divide all the people into groups of 10. Have the members of a group play each other at whatever, e.g. arm wrestling, to produce a

I've been through this before and some posts 'came back'. The only way to be sure is to delete your account. If you really want an account just make a new one.
