Ensuring a Random Number is not Re-picked

This one might be for the javascript experts in the community, but open to all.
I think someone (and it might have been Owen Holt) posted how you can use javascript to create a random variable and in that same coding ensure any of the x numbers is not re-picked. I may be imagining this though. (If this does exist can someone point us to the discussion thread)
With the Storyline 360 and the random variable option, does someone have a method they have come up with to ensure the same random number does not get picked more than once?

Owen, thank you for contributing this. It took me a few days to find a solution. I thought splicing the array would help, but it didn't seem to be working and presented a "Nan" variable in my output. I'm sure I did something wrong in my javascript, but you detailed it nicely so that I could understand. Thank you so much!
Glad you found it useful!
