Wow, amazing analysis, mfb. Thank you so much! For now I just settled with a program to randomly populate a 16x16 table with the digits. The program also checks if all numbers from 000 to 999 exist in the table; if not, it generates another table. Thanks again!

In the Pick 3 Lotto, the order of the digits would matter. So 123 is not the same thing as 132, and you cannot get the jackpot. Three cells in a row with digits 1, 2 and 3 will only give us 123 and 321. But a diagonal will also satisfy the condition, so 0ga in my example will be counted...

Thanks for the prompt reply mfb! 123 yes, 415 no, 463 yes. I realize I should have been more explicit in the restriction. I'm not actually referring to a combination, but a permutation, although this is only relevant if we are talking about numbers all in the same row or in the same...

Consider an m x n table containing single digits 0 to 9. So each cell contain the digits 0 to 9. My goal is to make sure that all combinations from 000 to 999 can be found in the table in adjacent cells. A cell is adjacent to the cells around it (i.e. above, below, to the left, to the right...
