| Formula | Description | Result | Expected | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| =RANDBETWEEN(1,10) | Existence probe: confirm recognized and result plausible (integer 1..10) | 2 | Non-deterministic by design; harness should only check 1<=value<=10 and absence of #NAME? |
Mismatch |
| =RANDBETWEEN(5,5) | When bottom==top the result is deterministic | 5 | 5 | Matched |
| =RANDBETWEEN(-5,-1) | Existence probe with an all-negative range | -2 | Non-deterministic; harness should only check -5<=value<=-1 |
Mismatch |
