Actually if you go strictly by what my Algorithms Professor says is a
better way (he's a crypto man so I won't argue with him on that) for a
random distribution would be to replace your random_number_from_0_to_12()
with random_number_from_0_to_i(). Also you can then start the second
for loop at 1 to avoid the unnecessary initial sway of n[0] with itself.
