(1) Mathai and Polito have misinterpreted the data regarding the randomization of the eligible population.(2) Due to memory constraints, we were unable to conduct all randomizations on the total data set.(3) As the titles suggest, the two workshops focus on approximation algorithms and randomization .(4) Exercise order was randomized so an equal number of subjects performed either exercise first.(5) The order of the response options was randomized across stories and subjects.(6) The order of the questions was randomized but was the same for all participants.(7) We measured outcomes at two months and four months after randomisation by mailed questionnaires.(8) Both sets had identical problems but presentation order was randomized for each set for each participant.(9) The order in which the trials were presented was randomized separately for each participant.(10) It is possible to conceal the randomisation in every randomised trial.
