Combined Filters Neighbors Distances Pick 5 The Neighbors Distances (NB-DST) is a so called "combined filter", a combination of a digit and a math filter. It requires two separate parts to create the filter.
Neighbors (NB) is yet another alternative to the old VTracs (VTX). Instead of combining digits by adding 5 it selects the all even digits with the next odd digit up, 0 with 1, 2 with 3 all the way to 8 with 9. It is another efficient way to combine an odd with an even digit.
To show you how to calculate the Neighbors Distances filter for a Pick 5 number here an example step by step.
Part I: Pick 5 Neighbors Distances Conversion Step 1: Divide 48817 into separate digits: 48817 => 4 8 8 1 7 Step 2: Convert each digit to filter: 4 = 3 8 = 5 8 = 5 1 = 1 7 = 4 Step 3: Combine the filters to a string: 3 5 5 1 4 = 35514
Part II: Pick 5 Neighbors Distances Conversion Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits: 35514 => 3 5 5 1 4 Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first): 3 to 5 = 2 5 to 5 = 0 5 to 1 = 4 1 to 4 = 3 4 to 3 = 1 Step 3: Combine the filters to a string: 2 0 4 3 1 = 20431
