I'm now painfully aware of the number of possible combinations that can be made from ten numbers.

I have no idea where fja got the 50 and 51 as red PowerBall numbers, but since they couldn't have been played anyway, I'm inclined to say that he picked the PowerBall using just two numbers. Now, who can name that PowerBall in one number? Remember, this is all about improving our skills at prediction. Using more numbers to predict the PowerBall number is passe' now. Sorry that was my bad (and good), I did it in such a hurry I was using my megaball history to pick the numbers.....it was just a gu... [ More ]

pigskin,Maybe everyone in the group didn't do extremely well, but for the second drawing in a row, we did manage to predict all the balls.I have no idea where fja got the 50 and 51 as red PowerBall numbers, but since they couldn't have been played anyway, I'm inclined to say that he picked the PowerBall using just two numbers.

Aye-Pigskin?JAG,It's still The Pigskin Challenge. I didn't surpass the previously set mark. Even if I had done so, I would have declined to change the name. I think it should remain as it is in honor of pigskin's pioneering performance.Good luck,aye

Aye, I just noticed that under a different topic you posted quite a few 5 number combos for yesterday's drawing and even though all these combos contained around 30 numbers, they failed to include the 22....even though you included it in your ten challenge picks. Please explain.

Congrats Aye. A very impressive performance.Overall, the group didn't do that well. More than half of us couldn't even identify one white ball.I'm still trying to figure out what FJA was about with his two red ball numbers, 50 and 51.

fja correctly called the red PowerBall using only four number selections. (51,2,50,37) In order to do better, the next person to claim the honor will have to do it with three or fewer selections.Good luck,aye'P.S. - Actually, only two of those four selections were valid for the 1/42 red PowerBall matrix. Does this mean that fja picked the PowerBall using only two numbers? If so, there's nothing left but to claim the honor using only one number. You be the judge. What do you say

Thanks, AYE, for your obversation and kind mention.23 , 33 , 25 , 35 , 15 , 47 , 38 , 16 , 8 , 12I do fairly well in my 'initial pool selection' in that they have consistently from 3 to 5 of the numbers selected.It is the 'combinating' that I am not yet proficient in, but trying.Next post I will point out something sort of interesting about 5 of the above numbers.

The Pigskin Challenge is about promoting improved prediction skills. It's not simply a matter of being able to say we had the PowerBall number or so many white ball numbers.pigskin set the mark for the 5/53 white ball pool by correctly picking three numbers drawn from his ten number selections. If anyone hopes to do better, they need to predict four or five numbers from ten selections, or three or more numbers from less than ten selections. (Yes, you could do better with four from up to thirtee... [ More ]
