I'm just copying code from this web page: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Understanding_monads

================

Using their initial seed I get this:

*Main> rollDie 362354 ~>> (rollDie ~>> rollDie)

<interactive>:1:0:
    Couldn't match expected type `t -> (t1, t2)'
           against inferred type `(Int, Seed)'
    In the first argument of `(~>>)', namely `rollDie 362354'
    In the expression: rollDie 362354 ~>> (rollDie ~>> rollDie)
    In the definition of `it':
        it = rollDie 362354 ~>> (rollDie ~>> rollDie)
*Main>

===================

Passing their initial seed through successive calls to rollDie:

*Main> rollDie 362354
Loading package old-locale-1.0.0.1 ... linking ... done.
Loading package old-time-1.0.0.1 ... linking ... done.
Loading package random-1.0.0.1 ... linking ... done.
(3,1795116384)
*Main> rollDie 1795116384
(1,523309185)
*Main> rollDie 523309185
(4,1311937830)  <== ISN'T THIS SUPPOSED TO BE THE RESULT?
*Main>

Well, you obviously need an initial seed:

rollDie 0xdeadbeef ~>> (rollDie ~>> rollDie)
