Started to look into it, but wouldn't reply until I was sure I had a solution.
Like the former replyer, I have dificulties understanding the bullet 5 in your description, but the rest is fullfilled. But my code example is around 300 lines of code, so I think it would be more appropriare if I mail it directly to you. If more people are interested, I can put it on my homepage for download. Code is build on the following: Go through all raflle's and pick a number for each column Go through the remaining numbers and allocate the to a raffle Go through all raffles and distribute columns starting with those with three numbers, those with two number and finally those with one number I have no mathematical proof for complete randomnes, and the procedure will fail in allocating all numbers from time to time, where you just will have to run the routine again /Kaj --- In [email protected], "Prof. Stevan Djuranovic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I need some tips (idea) for creating software to generate > raffle tickets. > > These are conditions: > > 1) Numbers from 1 to 90 must be allocated in 6 grids. > Each grid has 9 rows and 3 columns. > > 2) Every grid has 12 blank fields: 4 in each row, but every > column must have at least one number. > (in one row there must be 5 numbers and 4 blank fields) > > 3) At the end of one ticket (it has 6 grids - 6 raffle tickets) there must be exactly > 90 different numbers (from 1 to 90) with 72 blank fields. > > 4) Numbers in every column must be sorted.
