A lock combination |
2022-07-19 |
|
Kendal pose la question : If I tried I could probably (I think) figure the answer but it would take a minute and I hoped maybe as math people there may be a simple formula… I just watched a new movie Black Phone, the kid is given 5 numbers for a combination lock in order but with no indication where the stops are. The numbers (in order) are 23317, my question is how many possibilities with a standard combination lock are there…ie. 2-33-17, 23-3-17, 23-31-7…. As you can imagine not a great movie…my curiosity may get the best of me depending on how your app works ;). Thanks for your time. Penny Nom lui répond. |

A combination lock |

markbo pose la question : A combination lock has 0-9 plus Y on its keypad. A code is generated by selecting
4 digits from those keys (0-9 and Y) with no repeated choices,
but sequence does not matter
(i.e. 1-2-3-4 is the same as 4-3-2-1, and the same as 3-4-1-2 and counts as one combination)
How many different 4-digit codes are possible in this scenario? Penny Nom lui répond. |

Combination lock |
2019-07-31 |
|
Antony pose la question : Hello.
So my 3yr old daughter has had a bit of a play with the 3 dial combination lock on my backpack and locked it closed.
I am looking for all the possible combinations to go through a process of elimination to find the combination she has set.
To be clear. There are three dials, each with the numbers 0-9. I have read 10x10x10=1000 options but not sure if that is correct .. feels too small?
Many thanks in advance. Penny Nom lui répond. |

A punch-code lock box |
2010-11-29 |
|
Doug pose la question : I am a real estate agent that uses punch-code lock boxes on houses to store the keys. I need to crack the code on one of our boxes, so I need a list of the possible combinations.
Rules:
4 digit code
Numbers 0-9
Each number can only be used once
Order of the numbers does not matter.
With advice from this site, I have calculated that there should be 210 possibilities.
10x9x8x7 (5040) gives me the total number possibilities and 4x3x2x1 (24) gives me the total number of ways to arrange those numbers.
So if I divide the possibilities by the arrangement, I get 210. (5040 / 24 = 210) GREAT!!!
Now, how do I develop a list of those 210 combinations?
Thanks for your help. Robert Dawson lui répond. |

The combinatiion for a keybox |
2004-05-17 |
|
Darrin pose la question : I have a puzzle question based on reality. I have a real-estate type keybox (Supra) that has 10 digits, 0-9. I am trying to figure out a methodical way to test all number combinations to it to open it. (totally legal- it was taken from the trash at a jobsite since they couldn't open it!) The combination could be any or all of the digits, but any digit is only used once.

Combination locks |
2002-08-17 |
|
John pose la question : How many combinations of three number codes can occur with a standard combination lock? The range of possible numbers is 0-39 which allows 40 different possible choices each turn of the dial. Each combination requires exactly three numbers (i.e. three turns of the dial). E.g. 35-40-5. Allow for reuse of the same number three times e.g.10-10-10. I don't think there is any preference shown for certain number combinations. Can you explain how the total is derived? Someone at the YMCA this week put this question to me and I gave an answer but I am not sure I am right--so I have come to you. Penny Nom lui répond. |
