I don't see why everyone thinks it is 25 just because there are 5 numbers and 5 possibilities.

 

I mean it makes sense when you think about it, but if you think harder you realize it obviously isn't.

 

Edit: I think I have it figured out, 96 (I think)

 

I'll post the list of possibilities when I'm done.

A -- means the second letter changed.

A --- means the third letter changed.

5x4x3x2.

 

Five to start with.

You use one so it becomes 4

Once again you use another one, it becomes 3

Yet again you use another one it becomes 2.

You could go longer and say one, but it doesn't really help.

OIC that makes it easy :p

 

So if there were 6 codes and 6 options then it would be 720 because 7*6*5*4*3*2*1=720

 

thx.

yep, i wrote my logic as well, im 80% sure thats the logic, idk, thats hwo i use it.
