who's good with math

Ok I am trying to figure out the following thing.

out of the 13,983,816 combinations possible in 6/49 I would like to find out how many combinations are left after running some filters. I could figure out all these on my own but only from the original 13,983,816 combinations. Once I add 1 filter I am not sure how to go about figuring out the next from the numbers that are left.

First filter out any combination that has 6 odd 0 even, 6 even 0 odd 5 even 1 odd and 5 odd 1 even.
If I did my calculations right that leave you with 11,334,400 combinations.

Now eliminate from what's left combinations where there are 6 or 5 or 4 all from the same 10's group. (1-9 11-19 20-29 30-39 40-49) so the only combinations left would have no more than 3 numbers from the same 10's group.

Now eliminate any combinations that have 5,4 or 3 numbers ending in the same digit (02, 12, 22)

Now could someone enlighten me on how I would go about figuring this out. I would like to use this as my group from which I pick all my numbers, but I am getting tired of randomly picking a combination and then checking if it matches these flters before I play it.

More than likely VB would provide the means to a solution, either as a standalone program or as an Excel macro. The macro would require a listing of all possibilities in a spreadsheet.

Would you have any suggestions where I could start to learn how to program in VB any websites for beginners and I need a compiller for this right??

= 2,649,416 combinations

= 2,535,060 combinations

= 538,340 combinations

Hi kosteczki,

If I did my calculations right that leave you with 11,334,400 combinations.

That is Exactly Correct.

Now eliminate from what's left combinations where there are 6 or 5 or 4 all from the same 10's group. (1-9 11-19 20-29 30-39 40-49) so the only combinations left would have no more than 3 numbers from the same 10's group.

Now eliminate any combinations that have 5,4 or 3 numbers ending in the same digit (02, 12, 22)

I Make the Total Number of Combinations Remaining 9,954,560 ( maybe somebody could Verify this Figure Please ), which is Still 71.1862% of the Total 13,983,816 Combinations.
Did you have a Ball Park Figure in Mind of what would be Left?, and if so, How does this Compare?.

Hope this Helps.
All the Best.

yeah I was ball parking it around 8 million, so I am quite a bit off I guess but then again Shanga is estimating about 8,261,000?

hummmm.

I think I am going to have to learn vb and write a program to give me this result. From there this program should eliminate any combination that contain specific numbers I want out. Maybe I can get it under 8 million.

Kosteczki,

Give this a try, it should help with what you are working on.

Thanks, I will look into it.

Hi kosteczki,

... Shanga is estimating about 8,261,000?

I think this is Because some of the Combinations Eliminated to Arrive at my 9,954,560 would have had Contained More than One Criteria for Elimination.

Hope this Helps.
All the Best.

I have no idea whether anyone has converted all the 13,983,816 possibilities into a ".dbf" file and made a six-field database out of it but that would seem to me to offer one of the easier ways of eliminating possibilites by whatever criteria desired.

This can be solved using Lotto Designer XL, or LotWin. with the professional version you are able to enter your own filter parameters.
