Rolling repeatedly until sorted is also boring and direct. Maybe a complexity restriction is needed. I'll see what I can golf up. | |
| Jun 22, 2017 at 22:48 | comment | added | user62131 | I think it's unlikely that there'll be an algorithm for this terser than simply constructing the list of all possibilities, then selecting a random element from it. As such, I'm not sure the randomness adds to the task here. It's possible I'm wrong. (I toyed with some methods of restricting complexity to ban this solution, but I couldn't find one I was satisfied with.) | |
