RE: An unexpected result involving sums of random numbers

This post reminded me of something I had seen before posted on Reddit r/programming a couple of years back.

The mean-sum-rand-to-one turns out to be a kinda-sorta-known result, if you're "obsessed with primes" Smile

Spoiler alert, do not follow these links: a wonderful article at Mostlymaths with an explanation at Math.Stackexchange

Quite intriguing.
