I know how to get a random number from 0 to XX:  
random(xx) or Math.random()\*XX;  
but how to get a random number from 5 to 15 for example???

well you could’ve easily done it by doing:  
(random(11)+5) the minimal value for random would be 0 add 5 to it and it would be 5 and the max of random would be 10 add 5 to it and it would be 15 … so the value would range from 5 to 15.
