Could Someone tell me how to calculate any 8 digits, to two 4 digit combinations, with non of them repeating/conflicting except for the two 5's, such as

4589, 8945? the 8 digits I'm specifically interested in is 23455689?

please don't give just a formula, unless you can explain how to input on a standard calculator. thanks in advance...

You're going to have to be clearer. I have no idea whatsoever what you're trying to say here. None of this makes any sense to me.

Maybe someone else can figure this out, but I can't tell what you're asking. Are you given two 4 digit numbers? Do you want to do something with these two 4-digit numbers and come up with some 8-digit number? What are you trying to do?

At least I'm not the only one.
 
it's just a theory i have for nyc's win4. i noticed that a lot of the time these numbers

2,3,4,5,5,6,8,9 came up out of the various combos, in fact it came up the 2 most recent times.

this site helped, but I'm just too lazy to try all combos until it repeats. just tell me if it's 42(guess) times or what... and how to do the formula on a standard

calculator? Remember they must not repeat/conflict except for the two 5's... hope this makes sense now! Possible additions: 7-1-0

See! Am I Right or Am I Right? Just didn't play that combo today! Darn "2"...

in case your wondering what "box" means, it's just that any order comprised of the winners wins...

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
