Original Blog Entry: Divisors

I can't believe a year has passed since my last entry. Time sure is passing quickly. I remember when I was in high school. We got out at 3:15. From 3:00 pm until 3:15, a full week would pass. Now I wake up on Monday, take a nap on Wednesday, and go to bed on Friday (or so it seems). Time is passing that fast for me. Being retired ain't what its cracked up to be.

Oh,well.

In my thread on Information Theory, I said something about a drawn number being a divisor of the sum. After three days of trying, I finally got my code to work correctly. And the answer is... 42% of the total combinations contain a number which is a divisor of the sum. 58% do not have such a numbers.

I looking over the Georgia P5 results from draw one, the drawn numbers correspond precisely as expected, 42% had a number which was a divisor of the sum and 58% did not.

I can use this pattern. I only wish I had a few more.
