Shuffle
Javascript doesn't include a built-in function to shuffle an array, but there are lots of "recipes" to do it.
For instance: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6274339/how-can-i-shuffle-an-array-in-javascript
var shuffle = function (o) {
for (var j,x,i=o.length; i; j=parseInt(Math.random()*i), x=o[--i], o[i] = o[j], o[j] = x);
return o;
}
