Combined Filters Neighbors Distance Codes Pick 5 The Neighbors Distance Codes (NB-DSC) 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 Distance Codes filter for a Pick 5 number here an example step by step.
Part I: Pick 5 Neighbors Distance Codes Conversion Step 1: Divide 04731 into separate digits: 04731 => 0 4 7 3 1 Step 2: Convert each digit to filter: 0 = 1 4 = 3 7 = 4 3 = 2 1 = 1 Step 3: Combine the filters to a string: 1 3 4 2 1 = 13421
Part II: Pick 5 Neighbors Distance Codes Conversion Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits: 13421 => 1 3 4 2 1 Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first): 1 to 3 => 2 3 to 4 => 1 4 to 2 => 2 2 to 1 => 1 1 to 1 => 0 Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual], 1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]): 2 => N 1 => C 2 => N 1 => C 0 => E Step 4: Combine the filters to a string: N C N C E = NCNCE
