The probability of guessing an MTN Voucher number correctly is calculated as 1/12! = 0.0000000021

The probability is so so small. Almost zero.
1/12=0.083. Olodo

ur guess may be right, but the PIN won't work because it has not been validated by MTN server. moreover, different PINS are assigned to unique serial numbers from MTN Automated Voucher machines!....so, it's practically impossible to get lucky by guessing!

The reason I learnt's because the pins used in recharge cards are derived using a specified mathematical formula that only a highly restricted number of experts know!!!

Hero10001:
Lottery, Football combo etc are different to Pins.
Pins are made through patterns, there is no chance of repeating a pin else it's void.
It's possible to create valid pins but you won't find the trick on the net.

I think most of you are missing the point the OP was making. We all know about permutation and possible combinations, but the point is there must be millions of recharge card pins all active at the same time, so the probability of guessing even one of those correctly should be much higher, not so?

I mean, the odds of guessing a correct 12 digit pin out of millions of active pins (nationwide and all denominations) shouldn't be dat low. Perhaps this is why they only give you 3 tries before they block your line. I reckon if up to 12 tries are allowed at a time, many people would correctly guess pins within that frame (even through just picking 12 numbers at random without a system).

U are wrong my friend, the probability is 1 million times less than that because any digit can be repeated at least 11 times.

U are very correct bro. Ppl no know simple probability

True. I was even more conservative. It's much more less.

The chances are definitely higher than that. This is because there are many recharge cards, not just one. The higher the number of valid recharge cards available, the higher your chances.

Guy i humbly ask this question; wat r u saying? There is no validation whatsoever when u r recharging. U only use d pin not with d serial number. It is possible to guess a pin,d chance is just very small. Btw, providers dnt giv u opportunity to guess many times if not angry guys go jst sit down all day trying to guess recharge cards.

Yes, I know. That was why I was more conservative in my calculation. It should have been 1/(10P1)12 = 0.000000000001

Thus even if you multiply the answer from above by thousands, it'll still be less than the value I arrived at earlier wink.

wrong about that
Re: Why You Can Never Guess Correctly A Recharge Pin! by bigtt76(f): 5:08pm On Dec 21, 2014
Using extrapolation, you can get the sequence from a genuine card and go in to create good guesses which is like 1 in 1000 chances.

That's what I'm saying,all these girls dissing me without reading what I said properly,guys would rather have mixed feelings because guys are generally smarter,really smart guys would understand me,averagely intelligent guys wouldn't really understand and either keep mute or ask me to explain better,dumb guys would diss me,i said girls are not this smart which means they're not as smart as boys,and that's just how it is,its reality,it has nothing to do with dissing or downgrading women,the percentage of male Nobel laureates are more than women Nobel laureates,the percentage of male great scientists and researchers is more than women,the percentage of male inventors is more than female inventors,the percentage of guys that understand my statement is more than girls that understand my statement
