In a table of random numbers the integers 0 to 9 should appear with equal frequency in each location.
Close you eyes, pick a point by putting you finger down, and then read the numbers in sequence going in any direction - right, left, up, down, etc. You need not use all the numbers - to simulate a die, use the numbers 1 to 6 and ignore the other 4 digits.
