alice-teacher random number question

Ella,
Actually, the way the code is written, 5 will be less than the random number most of the time... If you are looking for a more equitable distribution between If... and Else... you might want to narrow the random range to, say between 0 and 10. To see your random number, create a variable and use it to display the random number generated... see the attached.

Is there any way to show a random number?
I am trying to play a simple game with random numbers and I would like to know what is coming up.  The number (0 - 100) most of the time is less than 5.  Attached is the code.  If the number <5 (should actually be <50) the cow is appears green else the cow is blue.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
