Did we just start a second lap? Or did the Time-Space Continuum rip?

Just noticed that New Game is loading Freecell games that were played before, namely on June 7, 2016. Freaky!

Not limited to Freecell. Same goes for every other game I checked.
It can happen at random, it seems. The apparent second lap may be coincidence. See https://forum.greenfelt.net/discussion/11843/random-number-reuse#latest .. @jim / @david can clear it up perhaps.
Our games of the day (and every game you play after that that isn't a "game of the day") are picked from a random number generator, so it's possible that it chooses the same number twice. At the moment we choose a 32 bit random number which means that there are 4,294,967,296 possibilities for a game number. So it's unlikely which is why you don't see it very often.
How cool is that!
