I did that child play last in 2002 in SS1, when we were yet to be thought Permutation and Combination in SS3.



Trying recharge card is like fetching water into a basket.

Its all about random numbers generation. But the system is quite complex though as to u getting the seed to start with.

if you have ever generated prime numbers in a computer program between 1 - 100,000, you will find out that a lot of the numbers that you see on any recharge cards are either prime numbers, or multiple of primes.

with this information the probability of guessing the correct sequence of numbers on a recharge card is not as low as you think.

if you scratch any recharge card and reveal the digits, dividing any of the numbers you see on the card by the appropriate factor (either 3, 5, or 7) usually yields a prime number. grin

just don't get your line barred though. DO NOT STEAL AIR TIME CREDIT

(a prime number is a number that can be divided by only itself and 1)

You are making it simple, because what you have done is permutation without repetition, while in reality there is repetition so therefore it maths is something like this
for MTN for example12 digits: 12*12*12*12*12*12*12*12*12*12*12*12 = x

the probability of you getting a recharge pin correct is 1/( x - number of recharge pins not in use).
the figures we are talking about here is in the realm of billions.

You're assuming that there is only one correct pin, which is not true. At a given period, thousands, perhaps millions of valid 12 digit combinations will work. (i.e the number of possible outcomes is far greater than one). So the probability is not as low as that.

No I am assuming that you will try one pin at a time. That is the pin you are trying to load divide by the thousands of pins avaliable. That is the probability of getting a pin correct and i can tell u the chances is very small.

There is a limited number of trials per day to recharge after 3 trials, you will be barred from recharging for that day.

Nothing is impossible. Out of sheer luck, I once guessed and I got #200 mtn.
