[PD] random, but always start with X

[padawan12 at obiwannabe.co.uk]

Random events (as we understand them here) are completely
unrelated to one another.
 
So the answer is to pre-load your system with 1,
and have all the other values be random.
 
[random 5]
|
[t b f]
 X
[f 1]
 
 
will always start with 1, and then give you random numbers.
 
BUT:
 
It might also give you, 1, 1, 1, 1....
 
I suspect what you really want is to replace the random
with an urn.
