Abstract
Given a finite group let be expected number of elements of which have to be drawn at random, with replacement, before a set of generators is found. If all the Sylow subgroups of can be generated by elements, then with The number is explicitly described in terms of the Riemann zeta function and is best possible. If is a permutation group of degree then either and or with
