time() returns a decimal number that could possibly be something like 
4.803424. Multiplying by 100 gives 480.3424 plus rand(100)->6 making 
486.3424. You are trying to assign this result to an integer. The 
interpreter prints out what it should be, and not what it really is that you 
are assigning. It can be a bit confusing, yes. You can fix it by adding a 
floor() around the entire expression.
