Watching #MattParker’s video on the #BingoParadox my thoughts drifted away a bit... (#adhd)

Now I was wondering: how did they make #bingo cards before computers?! Sure, you could just produce led types/sorts of every number from 1 to 75 and then draw 24 of them – like lots – for #typesetting of a single card. But that would have been A LOT of work and probably way to expensive.

Is there a pseudo random sequence to easily generate unique cards?

#TIL They just made fewer cards and re-used them!
