kobblers Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 depends how many times you misread the bloody things hahahahaha 333333 sounds right to me though, depends if you're counting the no cut #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenB Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I never was a maths genius, and I'll probably prove it here, but my abacus works out the maximum number of combinations to be only 4096. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hibsjo(SCO) Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Steven B is correct. Pint is waiting in Cobblers bar. Some say however the answer is 2714. as all the others are odd/even or even/odd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Is that a pint for the winner hibsjo, or for everyone. I'm already quite unstable with a supply of Guinness watching the Man United v Villareal, hope I can manage to see who scores when it happens!

Auto Key Wizard Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Your all wrong You can't class 111111 as a valid combination As the Tibbe key must have a minimum of at least one 4 cut in any combination, this being the turning disc within the Tibbe lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Raymate Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Answer = 333333 from 111111 no cut at all to 444444 all cuts at maximum depth May I have a gold star? sorry lads but you cannot have all of the same number on a tibbe key if i remember correctly from my tibbe lock pick which i do not have to hand all tibbe keys need at least one number 4 cut as this is the disc that spins the lock im pretty sure it is the number 4 but it could be number 1 either way this reduces the number of combinations for a tibbe key now you will get a gold star if you can work out how many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
