Binary Pick 3 Anyone?

You might want to keep it like it was before, because it gives the most value to recent drawings, but that's your call -- it's your system!

The way binary works is that you start with the right-most digit, which is 0 or 1. Then, as you move to the left, the value is doubled, so a zero is still worth 0, but a 1 is worth 2. The next digit to the left you double again, so it's worth 0 or 4, and so on.

Therefore, the sequence 011100100010111 would be (reading from right-to-left):

1 + 2... [ More ]

Binary and hexadecimal numbers are two alternatives to the traditional decimal numbers we use in daily life. Engineers and mathematicans sometimes call the binary numbering system a base-two system because binary numbers only contain two digits. By comparison, our normal decimal number system is a base-ten system. All bi... [ More ]

You are exactly right Todd...except I think I overlooked one important aspect of binary numbers. If they are supposed to be built and/or read from right to left then all my outcome sequences need flipped horizontally. The left-most digit in the sequence is the outcome of the 1st span of 693 games and the right most the 15th. Hmm...I may have gotten in a little over my head with this idea lol.

The 16th digit would all be zeros until the combo hits (if it hits). One interesting thing to wat... [ More ]

Thoth,

This is a very interesting and unique way of looking at things, thanks for sharing it!

One the things I really like about it is that it uses the value of a huge history of drawing data effectively, and does so using the most basic principle of a 1 or a 0 . Great stuff!

Just so I can understand clearly, you are starting with the right-most digit in the binary sequence, and working your way left, correct?

If I have this correct, if the straight combo 0-0-0 was drawn anytim... [ More ]

I'm not sure what you mean Ravern? Please explain

It's base 2 JADE,

965 is the number of the Pick 3 Permutation, the 111000010001000 is the binary outcome sequence code, of which there are 2^15 possibilities.

111000010001000 = converts to base ten as 28,808

1*2^14

In this case, Thoth's binary sequence of bits do not equate to the decimal value of the bit sequence.

965 111000010001000 Thoth's bit sequence

965 ¹ 111000010001000 binary, base-2 or

965 ¹ 1111000101 binary, base-2 in this example.

1 - bit - one bit

1111 - nibble - four bits

11111111 - byte - eight bits

1111111111111111 - word - sixteen bits

it's computer jargon.

What Base is used for your Binary?

965 in Binary Base 2=1111000101

Hmm... not sure what you mean. Are you looking for a 16th bit, rather than 15? If so, I'll use a state with 16 spans.

Great idea, however, you're one bit short of a Word.

Have you done it for a full Word

As disclosed in my recent posts concerning the Matrix Completion Cycle and its Decomposition Rate by Half-Life, it's an established fact that very close to 500 different Pick 3 straights (+ or - 20 either way) will be drawn during any span of 693 consecutive games. Because of this fact, each individual straight Pick 3 number can be given a 50% probability to be drawn within any given span of 693 consecutive games. Esentially, this 50/50 chance allows each combo's performance within a span to be... [ More ]
