Write one version of the program using (RAND,RAND) scaled to the screen, to see what it should look like. Then write another version using (MANT,MANT) scaled to the screen. I'll bet a wooden nickel that you'll see a lack of uniformity quite clearly. I haven't tried it, so I might be wrong, in which case I'll have to go find a wooden nickel.

OT: What a nice idea (in general, not only for a test)
