In response to "Check my math please -- I have a 6-digit code...what are the odds that a code will have 4 of the same number in a row at some part of the code?" by Will Hunting

Reagan can check my math, but I think the answer is (spoiler?) -- (edited)

I'm not using the right notation here, but it's something like:


(10^4 + 10^4 + 10^4)
--------------------
10^6


(10,000 + 10,000 + 10,000)
= -----------------------
1,000,000


= 30,000 / 1,000,000


= 0.003 or 0.3%
