Why are all of you worried about chooseing random real numbers?

A chain can only have lengths that are an integral multiple of a length
some what less then the length of one link.  Chains are not produceable
in lengths of other than 1 link, 2 links, etc.

Now does this amke any diffenence in the problem?
