RANDOM NUMBER SEQUENCE AND METHODOLOGY
A concert of twin identical barrel devices, able to produce a desired random number outcome sequence, within the field of stand-alone random number events. Each device is a transparent ball shaped enclosure, each holding an identical set of sequentially numbered lightweight balls. Each set is levitated and agitated only for a short period of time by air forced into the devices. Ceasing the forced air, said balls are allowed to come to rest. A process of randomly extracting a predetermined number of balls is then undertaken. From the identical barrels, preferably, only three balls are randomly extracted from each device. Three marked balls from a first barrel are combined with three marked balls from a second barrel, together producing a six random numbers, event outcome. As per the intention, said outcome may be comprised of three pairs, two pairs and two single, one pair and four singles, or, six singles.
