I have been using a procedural based randomization methodology.
To date, I have not found a verification problem that is a
too challenging for this methodology. Can you provide an
English language description for a verification problem
(meaning I am not interested in solving Sudoko) of something
that you think would be challenging.

Yuck. I am not interested in creating another Franken-language
like SystemVerilog?

Best,
Jim
