Some new results on some old techniques.Reply
Oh well those 2 keys didn't work either....the first one downloaded fine but was the wrong key and the second one didn't download at all...and gave a error message...ok either I'mma call Best Buy tomorrow and ask for the product key or I'm gonna buy me brand new computer...and I'm leaning towards buying another computer...either way this ain't gonna taunt me for long...

Mathematics and the LotteryReply
Nope, I'm not as RL is yet. I get it down to about 2000 lines. The nice thing about how I go about it is that I can keep adding filters with 0% error and continue getting reductions.

What are the Odds ??Reply
Please disregard line 5 as that was a cut paste error. 3 21 24 26 34 does not belong in this group. Instead of 7 lines in this group there should only be 6

+ - revisitedReply
I have been puzzled with the plus and minus mathematics , the problem i had encounted lately is that i have been consistant coming up with two pairs 90% of the time . The question now is the third postion number has not been consistant so therefore , we have to recheck the math . It might be just lack of focus or just plain error lol.

Quick Picks can't match the power of Self PicksReply
It's not at all meaningless, and though you seem to have missed it, by bringing up election polls you're acknowledging with my point. Election polls typically look at thousands of voters. A poll of a few hundred has a margin of error that's bigger than the split in typical elections, and therefore offers no useful information. If you want statistics that are valid you'll need to look at a few thousand QP's and self picks side by side.

The combinatorics of a permutationReply
I have added an 'UPDATED ->' tag and date to the spreadsheets in the upper left cells, A1 and B1.One of the fucntions in the calculation of the Combinatorial Set Item Number had a finger check error.Also, if there are any additional ideas or concepts I'd like to add, you'll know right away by the 'UPDATED ->' tag.PICK 3 sample ExcelPICK 4 sample Excel

The combinatorics of a permutationReply
...Now, the tricky math part.Using the values of MIN, MAX, SUM, and PRODUCT we can find the values of X_LOW and X_HIGH.Taking the SUM of W, X, Y, and Z, if we subtract the values of MIN and MAX we are left with the sum of the two middle numbers X_LOW and X_HIGH. Sum of X_LOW and X_HIGH: n = SUM - MIN - MAXTaking the PRODUCT of W, X, Y, and Z, if we divide out the values of MIN and MAX we are left with the product of the two middle numbers X_LOW and X_HIGH. Product of X_LOW and X_HIG

Reduction MethodsReply
Todd, What I'm after here is -What's the most effective way to filter/reduce combinations. Is it by using many or just a few to achieve the amount of reduction your looking for. Which method gives you the greatest reward with the least pitfalls.A follow up question to all this is- Can you get a meaningful amount of reductions without exceeding a 100%+ error ratio?

Math Models vs Actual ResultsReply
Pure statistical analysis is a proven truth. It's a great way to determine what your your error ratios are going to be when you select your reduction criteria. But, seems to be lacking in the area of current dvents. I think the most useful information, after the basic statistics has been performed, is applying statistical concepts to the current data, occurrences over a range, last time picked, pairings,....etc. The question is, is what is the best combination to yeild to best results.Would anyo
