I thought he was asking how many combinations would he get from just those two numbers of 5 digits each ..

Oh, maybe you're saying using only these 10 digits no more than once, 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 and 0 or 5 needs to be in the first position.

Well if a 0 was in the first position you would have 9 other digits for 4 positions to choose from, leaving you with 126 BOX combinations (9!/(4!(9-4)!)). The same applies for combinations starting with a 5, so you have 126*2= 252 combinations.

First off, Quinto is a 5 digit numbers game, such as pick 3/4, correct? I figure as much since I see results like: 5-1-0-0-1 and 7-9-7-2-0.

First number 0 or 5:

Calculate the other 4 combinations like a pick 4 game, each having 10 possible digits, like numbers are allowed. 10^4 = 10,000. 2 ways for each combination (0 and 5) = 20,000 combinations for Quinto starting with either a 0 or 5.

How do you get 32? No singles, doubles, tripples, etc?? what about 0-0-0-0-0 through 0-1-2-3-3? Not

Wait I thought you multiplied each column: 2 x 2x 2x 2x 2 = 32-- that's what I was taught

Sorry I threw everyone off here.

These would be combos for Pennsylvania Quinto Draw.

The 0 5 would be the 1st digits.

So you would have so many combos starting with the 5 and so many combos starting with the 0 (zero)

I guess 32 combinations would be correct.

Think I have a little Lex-dys-ia ....

I don't know of any game using 0-9 digits for a 5 digit base. ......(let us know Steve).......but if Steve wanted to use all 10 digits in a base 10 system it would be .....

10^10 = 10 Billion and thats 10 Billion Straights LOL 1 followed by 10 zeros ... LOL

Good for a Universal Inter-galatic pick 10 game

That IS box combinations, the calculation is the same that works for Powerball, Mega Millions, etc (which are BOX games). Straight would be 10^5 = 100,000 combinations (counting repeats possible, as well as doubles, tripples, quadrules and quintuples).

You have it right for what combinations you are looking for.

two numbers taken one at a time for five different selections.

one selection is 2! / ((2 - 1)! 1!) = 2

five different selections is (2 2 2 2 2) = 32

Thanks Stew for the confirmation, that's the number I posted. He hasn't answered the post, yet. I just assumed that was what he was looking for. But, you know what happens when we assume something

Pick 5 out of 10, only unique digits:

10!/(5!(10-5)!) = 252

Ok my brain is fried right now.

I need help in figuring how many combinations from the following:

0 1 2 3 4

01234, 01239, 01284, 01289, 01734, 01739, 01784, 01789

06234, 06239, 06284, 06289, 06734, 06739, 06784, 06789

===========================================

51234, 51239, 51284, 51289, 51734, 51739, 51784, 51789

56234, 56239, 56284, 56289, 56734, 56739, 56784, 56789

Am I missing any??
