This is what happened today after my last post. Maryland pick 4 day was 4746!! The 6174 minus 2545 (eve winner) = 3629, mirror # 8174 (using real math), then 6174 minus 2545 = 4431, mirror # 9986 (using lottery math). 3269 and 8174 there's the 746.....4431 and 9986 there's the 446! How you pick out the correct triads is a mystery but maybe with a little practice and history it will be easier. Also the winning number twelve games ago was 5767...there's the 67...so maybe that's a clue? Just saying... [ More ]

I've been playing around with this in Maryland Pick4 a little and have noticed some interesting things. In the last 60 games there are only six games that do not have a 6 or a 1 or a 7 or a 4 in the winning combo. Also when there is no 6-1-7-or 4 present.....the next game will have a double 6-1-7 or 4 present. I also found that the number you get when subtracting the winning number from 6 1 7 4 often has three of the winning numbers for the next two to three games if you use the mirror numbers o...

The funny number 6174 had to be a multiple of the magic 9 and it sure is (6+1+7+4=18=multiple of 9). And I've got news for those that try to find some meaning* that could be used in some lottery system: the number contains the Jackpot symbol 777:

6174 = 2X9X7X7X7

*like in at least being related to some well-known gambling-related lucky charm/symbol.

rcbuckeye,

Thanks. I was wondering if this could lead to some Pick4 plays.

SBIP$999,

It looks like you certainly figured that out!

Wow, great job there

Very interesting.

So I played around too for SC draws. Some of you won't follow this, but those of you familiar with some 999 Book of Numbers titles will follow along nicely with the concepts. I won't get into too much explanation.

You'll see some number substitutions in this method. The rules for those are 3=6; 0=1; 7=9. So anytime I have one of those digits on the X line, I will have to make allowances for the fact that these digits often mask as twins.

So here goes...

First I took... [ More ]

Pretty cool CoinToss.

I played around with it a little to see if any winning numbers would have come up in Tx. Alas, not in the last few months.

It's still amazing.

The Number 6174, Kaprekar's Operation

Coin Toss — Sun, 01 Dec 2013 00:35:43 GMT

The number 6174 is a really mysterious number. At first glance, it might not seem so obvious. But as we are about to see, anyone who can subtract can uncover the mystery that makes 6174 so special.

Kaprekar's operation

In 1949 the mathematician D. R. Kaprekar from Devlali, India, devised a process now known as Kaprekar's operation. First choose a four digit number where the digits are not all the same (that is not 1111, 2222,...). Then rearrange the digits to get the largest and smallest n... [ More ]
