This will not be random, because 0 and 6 will only occur at about half the frequency of the other numbers.

You need to multiply by 7 and then round towards -inf to get equal probability for all seven numbers.

If you are using Google Chrome or Safari, attaching a VI will currently fail. You either need to zip it before attaching or use a different browser.
