local digits = {'1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '8', '9'} math.randomseed(os.time()) local result = digits[math.random(8)] for i = 2, 50 do result = result..digits[math.random(8)] end print(result)
--> 88854243421464255299891111895292628431988589634664
My end goal is to find what os.time() returned when this script was run. Is that feasible?

This script uses broken math.random(). Tested. When you declare result, digits[math.random(8)] will keep returning the same number. Solution: math.randomseed(os.time()) ;math.random();math.random();math.random()
