I think that would require too much brain power to determine. I'd have to write something down to keep track.

You can now choose the # 1 option -- updated with an appropriate selection... imo. :p

Just got me thinking... If you have 9 unique digits, and there are 9 places in the number and only 10 numbers to choose from, what's the most people that can have that? By my calculations it's 810. Does that sound right? I never took statistics! :D <-edit = wrong.

Wouldn't it be 10!?

N/M that is all possible combinations.

My reasoning:

9 Digits times 9 locations = 81 possible. (you can actually rule a few of these out for SS#'s because they haven't gotten up past 7 for the first digit, so that takes away a few 'real' combinations). But assuming the maximum...

And there are 10 digits * 81 (possible combinations with 9 spots) 81 * 10 = 810.

I could be very wrong. [edit]I don't think so though. I think some of the 9 voters lied. Otherwise we'd have a nice bell curve and we don't! Take that! :D [/edit]
