I hit a random number of minutes then pull it based on the sound

How do you know the number you choose is truly random?

No dice roll is random because the outcome of the roll has been determined before it was rolled. You were always going to roll it that same way except in an alternative reality where you rolled in every conceivable way, which you do not live in because you are in this reality and you rolled in the observed way.
