The porof of tihs is spimle: tkae the csae whree wr'ee pbutted a 3nml-eeet list. We gnaertee trehe rdoanm nubemrs, each of wichh can have three piosbsle veluas, yieidnlg 27 pssliboe ootuemcs here. Trehe are olny 6 pneutmartois of the 3menle-et lsit, thhogu. Beucase 27 ins't eenvly diiiblsve by 6, smoe ocmeotus are more lkiely than oehsrt. The Fihe-rasetYs sflfhue aidovs tihs bias by cihnagng the range of the random nburems it sleecst. -------

I also took the freedom to attach the perlprogram that did the conversion. I just wrote it by using the mentioned fisher-yates-shuffle-algorithm.
