How did you calculate the odds? #3

Open TheThirdOne opened 9 years ago

Based on my calculations the odds are 1:111,111,111

How did you get 1:1044?

And actually that is on a perfect implementation. Yours only uses 9999 digits. So once an old key is shown it is 1:9999.

That was based off of pure guessing with having no clue how the passcode is generated. Yes, it is smaller once you know how they are generated. How did you get 1:111,111,111.

9 possible lengths

sum(combos for each length) = 10 + 100 + 1,000 ... +1,000,000,000

I actually made a mistake in my previous odds it is 10x that.

Yes, you are right. I multiplied. On May 24, 2015, at 7:17 PM, Benjamin Landers notifications@github.com wrote:
