Math puzzleReply
10 32 54 76 98 If you go about it logically it's actually pretty simple. The first number has to be 10 or more, and the last can't be more than 98. That's a range of 88, so the maximum spacing is 22, and simple trial and error gives the correct answer on the first try. It's also a very elegant answer, since it's each pair of digits in order, but with the individual digits reversed.

The Most important Lottery StatisticsReply
Hi, I would suggest two catagories for the 5 most important filters. Individual number elimation and elimination of combinations. In either case, it is getting the highest amount eliminated with the least amount of error.

Help JADELotteryReply
I noticed the same problem with duplication, I'll post the solution I used to get around it in a few days when I have time. I'm gonna recheck that 979 draw count, can't believe I made an error that large lol (sure sounds like I did though)...but then again, I was pretty tired the night I added 'em all up.

The Science Of Pick PatternsReply
Clairvoyance, Nice job finding the error (very sharp eyes!). LP premium members (like you) get full access to draw statistcs for every game, plus you can deflate and inspect everything with one click, so you're right about already having the functionality.

Powerball Normal Distrubution 55-5Reply
I am just coding my program to do that, I am having problems mapping the Norm Dist to the draws dist so I can display them in the same chart, the distribution of this draw (NJ) is very strange, I almost say it is not random according to what I have hear, getting almost straight lines on a regression analysis comparing the two. May be a calculation error on my part will check again, will post it when done

A Better Method for Pick3Reply
Hi truecritic,what you mean, the opoosite of what i thought ?I've setup the database in a relational design. Pretty basic and to the point. States, and states have draws, pure and simple.I have lots of other tables setup in it (which i will not discuss here)Don't worry, i'm not some lunatic that will go crazy when someone points me towards an error in my code or so. It was just data that was requested, that's all, and i happened to have that data, nothing more than that.Here's a view of the mir

KY Tic Tac Cash Chart
I've been updating the lottery payout and percentage information on my website and have run into a problem. In KY's Tic Tac Cash game my calculations for odds on the 3, 4 and 5 line level differ from the information provided on the Kentucky lottery's website. If I'm in error this would also affect the total payouts and payout percentages posted there. I left the calculation chart on the page. If anyone has time on their hands I'd appreciate an independent analysis to determine where I might have

Sum/Chart 3 Digit Box*All StatesReply
I love the chart, it's great. Just watch out for your error %. Even with Bertil's comment, with the range of 8-19, you'll effectively be wrong 33.33% of the time. Personally I'm finding that keeping track of indiviual reduction %'s is very important. Especially, if your using multiple reductions. The accumulation of multiple High % errors can take you right out of the game. Again, love that chart. I would like to see a lot of others posted. It would benfit everybody. Thanks

even odd questionReply
Dragon, Sharing is a win-win. And gives away nothing about my system finally selects numbers for the next draw. Like most others here, it's a work in progress.Anyway taking the Pick 3 odd/even distribution, the calculations are simple. Just write down all the possible odd/even combinations like below. Divide the combination group by the total amount of combinations that can be generated times 100 and your on your way.What's interesting about this is-if you decide to eliminate the All Odd and Al

One Hump... Or Two
Hello Friends, This one is going out to my fellow software developers.I have done some research into various programming languages that are out there. I wanted something that could process a lot of data FAST. After looking it was down to two choices, LISP and OCAML.I chose Ocaml and downloaded/installed it. The problem is with the caml browser which returns an error about not having the tk83.dll file. I would like to use some of the libraries out there to create my software.I'm running an
