B

This draw checks out.

The secret number was fixed before any spot sold, and it produces exactly the teams below.

1. Was the number fixed in advance?

We published this fingerprint when the break opened for buying, before anyone knew a single team.

046263b832dbcc03374fc124b8b2dd3a9de30c6e5287e23fbac4c5882ecdb005

Re-hashing the number we revealed gives:

046263b832dbcc03374fc124b8b2dd3a9de30c6e5287e23fbac4c5882ecdb005

They match, so the number could not have been chosen to suit the result.

2. Does the number produce these teams?
