Everyone's probably way past reading this by now, but for the record I ported the first example to Common Lisp:

Man that brought back the memories, and I had a blast doing it. Many thanks to Jeff Atwood.

I think I even discovered "intentional O(random)" complexity with this gem from Acey-Deucy:

  270 A=INT(14\*RND(1))+2
  280 IF A<2 THEN 270
  290 IF A>14 THEN 270
