I believe you meant "stoichiometric," not "stochastic." Otherwise, we could be in a bit of trouble on any given day :-)
In any case, you're correct. It's easy enough to do that I remember doing when I was about 11-12 years or so. Didn't get the mixture right and instead of an explosion (I triggered it with a string "fuze" from behind the couch), I only got a loud POP, but it was still an explosion from electrolyzed hydrogen made by a 12 year-old.
As an aside, it's recalling stuff like this that makes me wonder what my 13 year old son is doing that I don't know about...
