Hi All,

Geeeeze... I haven't posted for awhile!

I have been working on a new pick 3 system and need some help for those who either build programs or do excel sheets (Or you may already have this info I need on the breakdown - Hmmmmm Win_D?).

(I'm a super brainstormer, but not a programmer :-)

Here is what I need:

There are a total of 1000 STRAIGHTS in the pick 3.

Doing the one up and one down method, there should be an average of 38-50 3 digit numbers that will cover the ENTIRE 1000 straights.

Example:  180 would cover 079,070,071,089,080,081,099,090,091,179,170,171,189,181,199,190,191,279,270,271,289,280,281,299,290,291

Does someone already have these 38-50 numbers that cover all the straights or can create something that pulls these numbers out?

I only need the list of numbers.

Thanks!

Hi Zoozie,

you will end up with 1000 sets of numbers, won't you?

In your keynumber, 180, there is 181.
So is 181 no longer a keynumber? I mean, it will also come in some day, and then you'll have the breakdown for that one, in which you will find 182, and 182 will be a keynumber on its own again, again a breakdown.

cheers
Ricky

Ha ha...Zoozie

Can't help you out, but I did notice you live in Southwest Florida....I live in Fort Myers too.....lol

What a small world....

Hi Ricky,

Wow it has been a long time... few years back you created a program for me.  :-)

We start with 1000 STRAIGHT numbers in pick 3. 

My objective is to narrow the straight list numbers down from 1000 to 40-100 by doing this...

By going 1 up and 1 down in EACH digit and thus eliminating those numbers.

For example:  If 018 is one of the 40-100, these numbers would be eliminated from the main 1000 list:

907  018  107

908  017  108

909  019  109

917  007  117

918  008  118

919  009  119

927  027  127

928  028  128

929  029  129

* I would not eliminate 018 from this list, but move it over to the shorter list.

Am I explaining myself clearly enough?  I know what I need, but maybe not articulating it correctly.
