Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use a random 1-to-4 generator for?
Common uses include choosing a compass direction, picking a playing card suit, four-way team assignments, selecting a quarter of the year, and any game mechanic that needs exactly four equally likely outcomes.
Is each number equally likely to appear?
Yes, exactly 25% per number. Since 4 is a power of 2, our cryptographic random number generator produces perfectly uniform distribution with zero modulo bias across all four outcomes.
