I have just improved the old wheel. It still have 163 rows but now it
covers one 3-match combination more.
Now it covers 3044 instead of 3043 which was the old record created by
Stefan Vandevelde.
If anyone is interested in getting the wheel it should be available
soon at Richard´s Site (merseyworld).

Congratulations, nice to see continued improvements.
Think I got to hold the 2if record for about a week.
http://lottery.merseyworld.com/
Robert Perkis / r.g.l.faq / http://www.lotto-logix.com/
much more 3-match combinations can be covered,
but I don't want to see again a record wheel of mine
to be posted on merseyworld with a different inventor name,
or even with my name.
So I will hold it private.
I think that a challenge that measures a 3 if 3 covering with all 49
numbers is nonsense,
because with 49 numbers we will have always 6 right numbers and not
only 3.
A 3 of 3 measuring is ok at 46 numbers where 3 of the 6 winning
numbers
could be on the rest of 3 numbers.
Good Luck, Manfred

No, it's not a 3if3 but a 3if6.
According to this table http://www.fortclick.com/lottery/combinations/wheeling.htm
it theoretically needs only 86.24 blocks !
Making this an integer gives:
86.24 * 6 / 49 = 10.56 --> 11 (each number comes that often)
Then 11 * 49 / 6 = 89.83 --> 90 blocks
Let's even add 50% to it --> makes 135 blocks.
As can be seen there is much hot air between
163 blocks and 90 or 135 blocks!  :-)
Ie. 163 is 21% more than 135, and 81% more than 90 !
So there seems to be something fundamentally wrong with this weel.
I think one shold remove the C(22,6,3,3,1,77) and try with the rest,
or start completely from scratch. Isn't it?

it is a 3 if 6 wheel with 100% covering.
But to see the quality of the different 163 lines
wheels, the covering 4if6 and 5if6 says more than
3if3 because 3if3 is not realistic at 49 numbers, only 3if6 is
realistic.
But 3if3 is the (nonsense) measuring at merseyworld.
The measuring should be how many single 3s could be reached with the
wheel if 6 numbers are drawn.
As less single 3s we have, as more multiple 3s we will have with the
163 lines wheel.
There are also optimizations of single wheels with 163 lines
but they are all open wheels with smaller than 100 % coverings.
With a single wheel up to today no closed wheel with 163 lines
could be found. The record for a closed single wheel is more than
200 lines. In RGL this topic is some years old.
Please see here:

If you'll find a method to reduce the redundant coverings
we would be happy to hear about it.
Good luck, Manfred

Can you please explain this. I guess you mean 3-combinations
or simply triples, right?
C(49,3) has 18424 different triples in total.
And in these minimum coverings the task is of course
to cover all these triples in the least number of blocks
with each having 6 numbers (k=6 or "pick-6").
Currently one needs 163 blocks to achieve this,
although maths says theoretically only 86.24 blocks would be needed.
But in practice this seems to be impossible. Even doing it in
135 blocks seems impossible.
BTW, some people say that C(49,6,3,6,1) has been improved
to 162 or 161 blocks or even shorter, but has not published it.
I read this in this German posting dated 2006-07-16:
"Kann das System C(49,6,3,6)=163 verbessert werden? -
Gedanken über ein bekanntes System"
http://48678.rapidforum.com/topic=100674692216&search=C(49
Anybody know details about this story, who the author is etc.?

Thanks for the link.
Hello bilgekhan,
you are right, triplets or triples is the right expression.
Below are two winning tables of record wheels to explain what
I said for a comparison of 6of49 wheels:
At 6 right numbers at Mathias's wheel there is a 25.04515%
possibility that only a single triplet will be matched. All other
possibilities are two and more triplets (what is better).
At my wheel there is a 24.71697% possibility to match only a single
triplet. That means there are more possibilities to have 2 and more
triplets from the 6 number drawing. Also it means that the redundancy
is lower.
The difference certainly is neglectible, but it counts for measuring
a record.
Good luck, Manfred

The 3if3 report shows that 3072 triplets are covered with this wheel
Mathias's record wheel at Merseyworld covers 3044 triplets.
The Merseyworld fans still have much to do to be better than my
record wheel.

Only for comparison to a 163 line closed two cover wheel,
below is the winning table of Manfred's 163 line single cover, open
wheel with 99.48253 % covering (the highest covering today known):
No win at 0.517%
one triplet at 5.624%
but 3 or 4 triplets at 50.1 %
and a better covering than 4 triplets at more than 24%
But be careful, a single 4 hit without triplets (don't know how much %
because it is summarized) is more bad than 5 or more triplets

Actually it is very good for lottery players whose number 
selection skills are roughly 50% when picking 24 numbers. 
I find it strange lottery players will accept impossible
odds of getting 6 right in 24 and won't risk 99% odds of 
a wheel winning it's guarantee.

And, its not two wheels stuck together....
Right bonus!
