* {{kbd | key=<nowiki>%RANDOM%</nowiki>}} returns an integer between 0 and 32767<ref>[https://ss64.com/nt/syntax-random.html Random Numbers - Windows CMD - SS64.com]</ref>.
* 55 is the range of values you want: 5 to 60.
* 32767 is the range of values returned by {{kbd | key=<nowiki>%RANDOM%</nowiki>}} (0 to 32767).
* 5 is the minimum value you want. The original range of values is '0 to 55'. After plus 5 the range became '5 ~ 65'.
