Nope. They did not say it was a random number, just that your algorithm is
not better than testing random numbers. That is not the same as saying that
M is a true random number, in fact it certainly is not.

No, idiot!

Then you have a solution? I thought you said many times that you already had
a solution. Now you are saying that if you figure it out, then you have a
solution to the factoring problem. Idiot!

No idiot.

Any algorithm, including your crap algorithm is deterministic. So number 2
above would be closest to the truth. The only problem I have with it is that
the word "work" is in it. It does not work too well.

I did not dodge anything above. Idiot!
