Maryland, here is a copy of what I got. Maybe you will have better luck with the instructions down at the bottom of the e-mail.
This system is based on the number for five years back on the same day as your going to play. As. If your going to play on 12/20/04 then youll need the numbers on that same day for the past five years. Ect.12/20/02,12/20/01, 12/20/00, 12/20/99, 12/20/98.
Taking the highest and the lowest of these totals,6906 and 6017, and allowing a good margin,we may expect to find the required number between 6000 and 7000. We now proceed to find the key number.
1. By the Minor Differential.
1894- 6351 = 15
}-6
1895- 6906 = 21 }=13
}+7
1896- 6017 = 14 }=12
}-5
1897- 6715 = 19 }=11
}+6
1898- 6430 = 13 }=10
}-4
1899- ???? = 17
The series is found by adding together the integers of each given number, thus: 6351= 6+3+5+1=15. It will be seen that the results gives 13,12,11,10 a numerical series whose intervals are equal. We therefore reguire a number whose integers added = 17.
2. By the Minor Additive.
1894- 6351=15
}=36
1895- 6906=21 }=71
}=35
1896- 6017=14 }=68
}=33
1897- 6715=19 }=65
}=32
1898- 6430=13 }=62
}=30
1899- ???? =17
Here also the intervals are equal in the final series. We therefore are confirmed in the knowledge that the required number belongs to the series of 17.
3. By the Major Differential.
1894- 6351
-555=15=6
1895 6906 }=13
+889=25=7
1896 6017 }=12
-698=23=5
1897 6715 }=11
+285=15=6
1898 6430 }=10
-??? = ?? =4
1899 ????
Again the intervals are made equal by the supposition of the figure 4. The number required, therefore is one which, when 6430 is taken from it, leaves a number whose integers = 4, 13,22, or 31=4
4. By the major additive.
1894- 6351

1895 6906 }=17

1896 6017 }=14

1897 6715 }=11

1898 6430 }=8
}=??,??? =12=3
1899 ????.
The series 17,14,11,8 shows equal intervals. The required number, therefore, is one which, added to 6430, gives a sum whose figures add to 12.
Consequently, we now know that the number is one whose integers add to 17, and that it is a number which, being added to 6430, yields a sum whose figures add to 12.
Having ascertained these facts concerning the hidden or unknown number, the task is not now a difficult one to anybody accustomed to handling figures.
Between 6000 and 7000 there are only 70 numbers whose integers add to 17.
Between 6000 and 7000 there are only 31 numbers whose figures amount to 12.
Of these 31 numbers there are only 14 numbers whose difference of 6430 is a number whose figures add to 13.
Finally there are only 7 numbers within these limits which exactly satisfy all the conditions of the Secret Progression. These are 6470,6632,6641,6650,6731,6740,and6830. By the third process the Major Differential we found the number to be grater than 6430 so that the field of inquiry was limited to numbers between 6430 and 7000. We have found seven numbers which are capable of satisfying all the conditions imposed by the different processes, and since the master key is not to be divulged we must be content with a statement which reduces the possible number of chances from 1000 to 7. The Registrar-General returned the number 6731. A moments study will show how exactly it fits all the requirements of the several processes.
1. Minor Differential. 6731=17, which compared with 13 shows the latter yields 4, which added to 6=10.
2. Minor Additive. 6731=17, which added to 13=30,which added to 32=62.
3. Major Differential. If from 6731 we take 6430, we have 301, which =4.
4. Major Additive. 6731 added to 6430= 13,161, which yields a unit valve of 12, which equals 3, which added to 5 gives 8.
