Abstract
The q = 8 state Potts model with varying amount of quenched bond randomness is simulated in two dimensions by using a cluster algorithm. It is shown t hat, by monitoring the autocorrelation times, one can trace down the thresh old value of the introduced quenched bond randomness for the rounding of th e first-order phase transition.
