Amazingly, my word appeared on the eleventh try. As mentioned in my research, I was interested in the patterns that were appearing with numbers in the project, and noted several occurrences of 533 appearing. I also noted that the digits in 533 reduced down to 11, both my favourite number and a Master Number in Numerology (which we had also discussed in class).

I feel like the outcome was as authentically random as I could achieve, and the various moments of serendipity were very interesting to note.
