  2. Mathematics of Sudoku - Wikipedia

    The possible row (or column) permutations form a group isomorphic to S 3 ≀ S 3 of order 3! 4 = 1,296. [4] The whole rearrangement group is formed by letting the transposition operation (isomorphic to C 2) act on two copies of that group, one for the row permutations and one for the column permutations.

    In a typical 6/49 game, each player chooses six distinct numbers from a range of 1–49. If the six numbers on a ticket match the numbers drawn by the lottery, the ticket holder is a jackpot winner— regardless of the order of the numbers. The probability of this happening is 1 in 13,983,816. The chance of winning can be demonstrated as ...

  4. Combination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination

    To refer to combinations in which repetition is allowed, the terms k-combination with repetition, k-multiset, [2] or k-selection, [3] are often used. [4] If, in the above example, it were possible to have two of any one kind of fruit there would be 3 more 2-selections: one with two apples, one with two oranges, and one with two pears.

  5. Permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation

    This would have been the first attempt on record to solve a difficult problem in permutations and combinations. [4] Al-Khalil (717–786), an Arab mathematician and cryptographer, wrote the Book of Cryptographic Messages. It contains the first use of permutations and combinations, to list all possible Arabic words with and without vowels. [5]

  6. Shannon number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon_number

    Taking Shannon's numbers into account, Victor Allis calculated an upper bound of 5×10 52 for the number of positions, and estimated the true number to be about 10 50. [4] Recent results [5] improve that estimate, by proving an upper bound of 8.7×10 45, and showing [6] [7] an upper bound 4×10 37 in the absence of promotions.

  7. Computer number format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_number_format

    As the number of bits composing a string increases, the number of possible 0 and 1 combinations increases exponentially. A single bit allows only two value-combinations, two bits combined can make four separate values, three bits for eight, and so on, increasing with the formula 2 n. The amount of possible combinations doubles with each binary ...

  8. Truth table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_table

    For instance, in an addition operation, one needs two operands, A and B. Each can have one of two values, zero or one. The number of combinations of these two values is 2×2, or four. So the result is four possible outputs of C and R. If one were to use base 3, the size would increase to 3×3, or nine possible outputs.

  9. 4-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-bit_computing

    128. v. t. e. 4-bit computing is the use of computer architectures in which integers and other data units are 4 bits wide. 4-bit central processing unit (CPU) and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) architectures are those that are based on registers or data buses of that size. A group of four bits is also called a nibble and has 2 4 = 16 possible ...
