    Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! Today I have for you a number-generating procedure using a random number and some addition and subtraction. Pick a number. (I picked 573 by squishing the keypad with my fingers.) Add 1. (I get 574.) Instead, subtract 1 from the number you started with. (I get 572.) Now…
