Will adding 6 random unique numbers in the range 0-32 and doing a modulus on the result favour a high number?
Example: 9 +10 +11 +18 +25 +28 +32 = 133 % 20 = 13

No. Its even, or at least the skew doesn’t seem to be more than 0.05 %.
Even though the range of possible numbers does not evenly map to the mod ( 192 % 20 = 12 ), the range of distribution is much greater than the mod, so it works it self out.
Here’s my run of 1,000,000.
