For the Y2K, we weren't allowed to change any of the original code running on the AS/400. That code was always off-limit, and had existed since the 1970s as far as I know.

We created an intermediate tool that would look at transactions going into and out of the database.

When data was coming out, we'd convert the dates to 4-digit years. Then when data was going in, we'd convert 4-digit years back to 2-digit years.

I have no idea if 26 years later that is still in place. I suspect so. But the thought that banks will authorize AI and "vibe coding" to magically replace all this off-limit code running on the back end is hard to believe.

@nprofile1q... Can you settle the question?

(My vote is the many 3x repeated sequences in listA is not random, but I'm not dedicated enough to pull out a die and record 100 rolls to see if that is likely to happen a bunch of times.)

ListA was created by making a list of 16 or 17 of each number. The Stdev **of the frequencies** is much lower than what you will find on random lists of similar size. ListB was made by rolling dice.
