6 out of 42? that wouldn't be bad at all

It's 1,2664486348696875012664486348697e-8
or 0.000000001266486348696875012664486348967............

 

[Zombi]

yea that sounds more like lottery chances

i think he meant you choose 6 number out of 42. not the chances are 6 out of 42.

i'm afraid your maths is wrong.

That's what I meant yeah.
In Germany it's 6 of 49. Less chance.

Help me here.

The chance that I hit ball 1 with only 42 balls is 1:42. I should presume the 1st ball is 1, so the 2nd ball is 1:41, and this 6 times.

1.90629202 x 10^-7
I win... still tiny number

it's those exclamation mark thingies... I forget how they work but that's what they're for, I think.

(1/42)x(1/41)x(1/40)x(1/39)x(1/38)x(1/37)????

 

[Quark]

However, it's been the last century since I've had maths so....
it could become rather rusty here and there.

(1/42)x(1/41)x(1/40)x(1/39)x(1/38)x(1/37)????

I don't think so...

what you're trying to find is the number of possible combinations of 6 numbers taken from 42.

I can't quite remember a good explanation for how you arrive at the definition I posted.

 

[Zombi]

it's somewhere here.

gotta go make dinner. peace out, y'all.
