How come nobody remembered Union? It needs no package; it is one of the
core operators. Also, this one maintains the random order of the original
trials. And thanks to Dana Scott for the improvement 42->52.
len=5;
While[len != 6,
hand = Table[Random[Integer,{1,52}],{6}];
len = Length[Union[hand]]
]
hand
I think a lot of us forget that readability is very important to
non-hotshot users of Mathematica, who are the audience.
