I think you will get a solution in a short time and there is no risk to 
produce a endless loop.

The other problem I noticed with the current implementation was, that 
sometimes it was not possible to enter the fitting value. I think this is 
because of non integer values for the solution. I would not allow any float 
data for the task, because the think is to learn percentage tasks and not how 
to use a calculator.

That's right and I think your way was good as well.

Well, let's call the randomizer function with 2 parameters one for the 
maximum size of the base and one for the max. size of the percent. Calling 
the function with the right values is to be done by the GUI -> call the 
function with parameters given through a list box or something else. There is 
no need for different functions. In my example you only have to change the 
values for limit and limit_percent...

Well right, I've subscribe to the list some minutes ago and send a copy to 
this list just for consistence... ;-)
