And i know this because every device conceived by man who wants to generate random numbers or a number sequence has to have sort of speak a mathematical expression code, like a formula in it....

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say ... what if numerolgy is not the path in which to calculate the prediction of numbers ? ...

Is it safe to say that the enviroment is a deciding factor ? small movements, vibrations, air pressure, earth rotation, gravity ...etc. being the deciding factor... [ More ]

I thought someone would have pointed out that the Nth root of any number is a constant. It doesn't change.

To compare computations done on a static number to the lottery is like comparing the stirring of alphabet soup to writing novels.

There's another Human Calculator , Scott Flansburg.

He goes around the country teaching math shortcuts, and has become very interested in numerology.

From scottflansburg.com:

Best selling author Scott Flansburg also known as The Human Calculator - a nickname given to him by television star Regis Philbin, has been teaching math and entertaining people with his astonishing math skills for more than 20 years.

Not to bum you out Pumpi, but I've heard him interviewed on radio and... [ More ]

Too much information??

On another note: I doubt if most people who win the lottery can even balance a checkbook. When I lived up north I worked with a woman who hit a small jackpot. One day I told her that I went to the market and asked for a quarter of a pound of fish (or turkey or whatever) and got .37 and, although I'm not fussy about getting a little more, this was expensive and about 45% over what I asked for. She said to me but Nancy, you got less than you asked for. You ask... [ More ]

In answer to the thread's subject

Pumpi, I already am a human calculator. I have 10 fingers and 10 toes, so that means I'm a digital calculator, although I don't have a period any more.

There are lots of pick 3 and 4 systems to produce numbers but as it has been said many times what works for one drawing might not work for the next drawing. Nobody on record has developed a system for accurately predicting the pick 3 and 4 games on a daily basis. Be it ball drawings or rng.

Yes that is a sound idea. I have often tried to do that when we get jackpots around 300 million (been a long time) 10 people put up 20 bucks each and we create a balanced wheel with everybody's selections. The most people i could get was 5 people.

Many people don't even know what a wheel is.

Lots of people were interested in playing quick picks which i consider a waste of money since as a group of 10 people we hardly won anything in all the times we played quick picks. This was mainly du... [ More ]

The reason I asked the questions was there was a story on sixty minutes a few years ago about a small town in Texas that played a lottery as a group, got lucky and won. The jackpot was big enough that everyone who participated got a least a million dollars. A woman who clerked in the local gas station that sold lottery tickets came up with a plan and talked most of the local people into pooling their money for a one shot deal and most went along with her.

I was thinking more along the line... [ More ]

I appreciate your efforts to keep the forums organized and running smoothly, but math is only incidental to this thread. There's really not much that makes it any different than any other discussion of RNG's, or ideas for cracking the lottery.

In fact, I'd say it's really not about math at all. That some people have amazing abilities to solve complex math problems doesn't necessarily mean they're actually doing the math in any traditional sense. Most of us have a decent ability to watch a... [ More ]

providing and that's a big if. You had a decent 150.00 wheel you might get lucky and get all 5 white balls.

When i wrote that sentence. It's intended purpose is for the average lottery player who uses wheels or programs to produce their picks. Using a minimal out of pocket dollar amount. Not a group or syndicate who have unlimited funds.

Pumpi seems to think that some mathematical permutation can achieve some success in predicting numbers for jackpot games. I still insist there are no ma... [ More ]

Lets put this another way if there were a cost effective mathematical way to produce the winning numbers by now don't you think it would have been done already.

by four4me

What amount would you consider a cost effective mathematical way to pick the winning numbers of a lottery? $100, $1,000, $10,000 or more? That syndicate that won the Virgina lottery a few years back was willing to spend millions of dollars buying all the possible combinations when the jackpot was large enough.

Alex is just one of a hand full of people on the planet with this skill. Stands to reason if it could be applied to the lottery one or more of them would have accomplished this. I say it's not possible to predict with certainty any outcome of a jackpot lottery using applied mathematics. Just because lottery's uses numbers doesn't mean there are mathematical calculations that could or would predict the outcome of a random event. Unless one played all the combinations or have one dynamite wheel.... [ More ]

And even if they use different computers let's assume they use 5 different computers, he could calculate the possible events for all of them for remember the result should be 1 combination and 1 combination only, not a couple of them...And each time the calculation will get bigger but it will be in the increments of less than 100,000 because they use different computers (even if they use different RNGs) and remember you have a limit of a number with 200 zeros so you have like 30 years to run out...

They can use all the computer they like the question is do they use the same RNG...

A RNG in its core uses sort of speak like a very complex mathematical expression (not just one several) to help it decide which number to choose (So far that's what've read about RNGs) and it goes through a series of cycles before it does it...Now i am not a RNGologist..Again i could be wrong...

I would say to you that even if you had access to the rng that the lottery uses that you couldn't crack any code. If rng's are supposedly random which we are led to believe... then how could Alex or anyone else computer or not predict the outcome of a drawing which is supposedly a random event.

Lotteries that use rng use different computers for every draw meaning that they draw a number for which computer will be used for that particular draw. How could Alex or any supercomputer know this in... [ More ]

If you all didn't know who Alexis Lemaire is, he is the French guy that broke the world record by correctly calculating the 13th square root of a 200 DIGIT NUMBER all in his mind without paper and pencil or a calculator...Now if you are aware of it, 1 Trillion has like 14 zeros while the number they assigned to him has 200 digits or should we say 200 zeros...

Now is my hopothesis that with a mind like that you could use it to decipher the state and how many cycles (so i read) the seed of a RN... [ More ]
