You would then get the equation 50 + (100 - 50 + 1) * 1 which will be 101. Or am I missing something here? If I’m not wrong, Math.random() can return 1 as a value.

I've done extensive tests on this and haven't found a return value outside of the given integer range. Have you found a bad return? I don’t think so, Patrik.
