How Many Quintos CombosReply
First off, Quinto is a 5 digit numbers game, such as pick 3/4, correct? I figure as much since I see results like: 5-1-0-0-1 and 7-9-7-2-0. First number 0 or 5: Calculate the other 4 combinations like a pick 4 game, each having 10 possible digits, like numbers are allowed. 10^4 = 10,000. 2 ways for each combination (0 and 5) = 20,000 combinations for Quinto starting with either a 0 or 5. How do you get 32? No singles, doubles, tripples, etc?? what about 0-0-0-0-0 through 0-1-2-3-3? Not

Question about ExcelReply
Are the digits of each number in separate columns? If so, here is a mathematical solution to identifying numbers that are equivalent as box sets. Say the digits are in columns A, B, C, and D. Create four functions in four new columns, say W, X, Y, and Z. Column W is the sum of the digits, i.e., A+B+C+D Column X is the sum of each digit's square, i.e., A*A + B*B + C*C + D*D Column Y is the largest digit, i.e., MAX(A,B,C,D) Column Z is the smallest digit, i.e., MIN(A,B,C,D) The

Pseudo-random numbers from irrational numbers
Here is a Python script that can generate pseudo-random numbers from the decimal expansions of irrational numbers. It uses the 'decimal' module and the 'Decimal' function within the decimal module. The basic idea is to generate long decimal expansions of irrational numbers constructed from roots, exponents, logarithms, etc. Then chop the string into chunks of 3, 4 or 5 for Pick 3, Pick 4, or Quinto. You can play around with the code to customize it to your needs. https://sagecell.sagema

Pi CycleReply
Sure, I put it here: https://repl.it/repls/VerifiableIroncladLanguage (I don't control the random words in the URL) It's not optimized, so if you tweak it to run for Pick 4 or Quinto it will run pretty slow, I think it's O(n^2) in its current form. But 1000 is small enough to give all the cycles in 1 second or less. Do you still play Pick 2? If you're trying to find a long cycle with this method, you'll have more luck with a shorter digit string. You don't even have to use irrational numbe

Pick 3 Probability PuzzleReply
I worked it out for P2, P3, P4, and quinto. Normal is the probability under normal drawing condtions and weird is the probability under the puzzle's conditions. Pick 2 Doubles: Normal = 10%, Weird = 18.2%, Change ? Singles: Normal = 90%, Weird = 81.8%, Change ? Pick 3 Triples: Normal = 1%, Weird = 3.31%, Change ? Doubles: Normal = 27%, Weird = 37.2%, Change ? Singles: Normal = 72%, Weird = 59.5%, Change ? Pick 4 Quads: Normal = 0.1%, Weird = 0.601%, Change ?

How Many Quintos CombosReply
Sorry I threw everyone off here. These would be combos for Pennsylvania Quinto Draw. The 0 5 would be the 1st digits. So you would have so many combos starting with the 5 and so many combos starting with the 0 (zero) I guess 32 combinations would be correct.
