/*
The array.sort(), is not accurate, it will favor some numbers over
the others. The most popular correct method, is called the Fisher Yates
shuffle, and was introduced in data science as early as 1938!

Here is an example ↓

for (currentIndex = myArray.length - 1; currentIndex > 0; currentIndex--) {
    randomElement = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
    selectedElement = myArray[currentIndex];
