Ok. I suppose I could factor this out into some extra class and extra file.
But is that worth it? Then I need to still somehow route all that logic through the constructor, and `nextDouble`. I think in the end I have more code and more abstractions, I don't yet see how that is worth it.

Maybe you had a better idea in mind that I did not yet think of ;)
