Stupid question but is there a formal definition of 'decade' in the
context of lotteries? Is it 1-9 or 1-10 for example? My numbers above
are the dregs where two different underpergorming 'decade' systems
disagree.
would be in the 0 decade. 11 in the 1 decade etc etc.
I've not followed the decades but the "units" number I have followed. My spreadsheet says 64% of the time there are two numbers (at least) with
the same family end digit like 11 or 21.
But that's not really high enough for the Euro. No main pair of no's
(66%), one number wholly divisible by 5 (69%) or wholly divisible by 3
(86%!) score better.

Now underpergorming - I'm thinking that's a Cate Middleton type of word ;-)

So 10 would be in the 1 decade?That's what I am thinking. But I'm not a huge fan of decades.

I'm also wondering about the wisdom of using anthropocentric
measurement criteria. Perhaps using the approximate square root of
the number of balls might be better, so 6/49 would use 7 and 6/59
would use 8. But then, should the number of balls drawn also count?
Does someone like Gail Howard have a definition?
as an afterthought are you interested in Decades from the point of view of:
MJ
a) this decade is "hot" and the next number could come from there; or
b) this decade is "cold" and so the next number is bound to come from here?

I see Ion Saliu, late of this parish, has a small monograph on it

Thank you. His first decade runs from 0-9. I haven't encountered too
many lotteries with a ball 0.
