in case my comment made someone wonder what the 'right'* way to do this is, if you needed to for some reason.
> give me 11 random numbers in a set with range 1-10, allowing duplicates. if you don't think an LLM can generate properly pseudorandom numbers, then use your tools to generate them.
This caused it to create and execute a python script that returned
[random.randint(1, 10) for _ in range(11)]
which, of course, worked.
* obviously don't leave it up to the model to decide about whether it can do random numbers. I just wanted to see what it would do..
