![]() Part way into that thread I gave this reply, which I have edited and expanded on:. The question of "what is a lex value ?" has been asked before, most recently on a thread headed Lexographic 101 in the International & State Lotteries forum. Hi Tesla, I appreciate your comments, and I am aware that some of the stuff I write here can be difficult to get your head around, and I do try to keep things as simple as the context of the discussion will allow, some things you just have to hope the reader has come across before, otherwise one would end up writing War and Peace if starting at the very beginning every time. That's what I understand as mirrors, but if we marked the balls in Roman Numerals there would be even more fun to be had with mirrors. Another way of creating a random result using mirrors. If you imagine a mirror along one edge of that rectangular grid and the reflected pattern of your black marks you filled in- they would cover different numbers on your real world grid, creating a new set from an old one. I've also toyed in the past with mirrors of the playslip grid, the one you would fill in at a shop. What is the mid point of a 649 lottery then ? well its Lex values are 6,991,908 and 6,991,909 sitting astride the mirror. Well its Lexicographical value is 13,607,077, not far fom the top end of Lex values and its 'mirror Lex' is 376,740 creating a mirror combination of 1,4,7,26,35,36. Well numbers 24,25 are in the middle so a good guess might be 22,23,24,25,26,27 as the middle combination? Mirrors conjure up a vision of symmetry before and behind the mirror don't they? Just as an aside here and to demonstrate how asymmetrical lotteries are, you might try and guess the mid point of a 649 lottery in terms of the 6 ball numbers. ![]() Had the current UK lotto format survived to 2200 draws (it dies on October 8th) then with the 2200 results and their mirrors, making 4400 'results' there would be a 50% chance of a repeated combination appearing soon in the list. Only 2 results in 2060 were 1 away from a match with another's mirror. I have converted all 2060 UK lotto results to Lex and added their mirror Lex's to the list to make 4120 results in Lex form, just to see if any result matched another's mirror. This represents the combination 1,25,28,41,45, 48, its mirror counting in reverse direction from the top end. Mirror that by subtracting it from ( 13,983,816 +1) to give a lex value of 1,663,752. ![]() So individual numbers in Saturdays UK lotto result ofįor mirroring complete 6/49 results I take the Lexicographical value and mirror that. In 6/49 I use 50-n as my mirror transform for individual numbers, so 49 >1 and 30> 20, 25 remains the same at 25. I understood it as a transform of +5, but Sub dimensions in a lottery that uses integers ?
