How to calculate this?Previous TopicNext Topic

Trying to see how many combination there are when using these arrangements;

Group A: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14
Group B: 15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24-25-26-27-28
Group C: 29-30-31-32-33-34-35-36-37-38-39-40-41-42
Group D: 43-44-45-46-47-48-49-50-51-52-53-54-55-56

1) How many combinations are there when arrange:

1 number from A, 2 numbers from B, 2 numbers from C?

2) How many combinations are there when arrange:

2 numbers from A, 1 number from B, 2 numbers from C?

3) How many combinations are there when arrange:

1 number from A, 2 numbers from B, 1 number from C, and 1 number from D? 

4) How many combinations are there when arrange:

1 number from A, 1 number from B, 2 numbers from C, 1 number from D? 

5) How many combinations are there when arrange:

1 number from A, 1 number from B, 1 numbers from C, 2 numbers from D?

Appreciated if anyone can help out with the calculations. These are the "Normal Rhythm" in Mega Millions, which have delivered 24 jackpots, and more to come.

1) 14 x 91 x 91 = 115,934

2) 91 x 14 x 91 = 115,934

3) 14 x 91 x 14 x 14 = 249,704

4) 14 x 14 x 91 x 14 = 249,704

5) 14 x 14 x 14 x 91 = 249,704

Thanks Raven!

i don't believe this to be true, it can't reach those amount, but we will leave it at that...

you can always apply filters...

The numbers are true, with applied filters it will chop the amount in half, if not more. :)

1) 1X2X2 = 4

2) 2X1X2 = 4

3) 1X2X1X1 = 2

4) 1X1X2X1 = 2

5) 1X1X1X2 = 2

It doesn't matter how many numbers in each row.  If you are taking just the combos you mentioned, then what I have given is correct.

What does matter is the possible combinations of 1's and 2's in a pool of 14 numbers and they are 14 and 91. 

Raven, where does 91 come from. How do you come up with that? Just trying to understand how this works.

I don't have the time right now to do all of them, but I'm almost sure of that number. Expert lotto can create those combos for you then you create 4 groups then create a compound filter using 1A,2B,2C

1) How many combinations are there when arrange:

1 number from A, 2 numbers from B, 2 numbers from C? 5,332,964

Diamond, I don't understand what you mean by "Normal Rhythm", but 1A-2B-2C has hit this many times, which is more than the 24 jackpots, just from this filter.

It's just  multiplication .

1x2x2  = 4

1) How many combinations are there when arrange:

1 number from A, 2 numbers from B, 2 numbers from C?_________________4

2) How many combinations are there when arrange:

2 numbers from A, 1 number from B, 2 numbers from C?_________________4

3) How many combinations are there when arrange:

1 number from A, 2 numbers from B, 1 number from C, and 1 number from D? __2

4) How many combinations are there when arrange:

1 number from A, 1 number from B, 2 numbers from C, 1 number from D? _____2

5) How many combinations are there when arrange:

1 number from A, 1 number from B, 1 numbers from C, 2 numbers from D?_____2

You have to cover all the digits in each group.

Thx Raven, I understand it now.
