...might wonder how a “supposedly?? random algorithm could result in so many ID’s sharing the same first three digits. Wamback explains that this recurrence of numbers has to do with the nature of Harvard’s custom-generated algorithm. “The first numbers issued back in 1974 began with 100, 200...through 900. Then, after all numbers with these three integers were used, numbers beginning with 101, 201...through 901 were issued.” Wamback assures FM that this algorithm is sufficiently random to protect the identities...
