The price of a ticket?


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

With a Maximum Selection of 21 Groups of 6 Balls (Using the Best 21 Balls) Which equals 21 Tickets at 1 Pound or 1 Euro Etc. Per Ticket.

There is no reason to prefer one ticket over any other. There is no maximum ticket.

Hi;

All the tickets have the same odds. Arranging them does not help.

I do not agree. If you think you have a solution then post it.
