Combined Filters Neighbors Sums Pick 5 The Neighbors Sums (NB-SUM) 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. The Sums filter is a so called "math filter". Math filters are created through calculations. You get the sum of a number by adding up the digits within that number. To show you how to calculate the Neighbors Sums filter for a Pick 5 number here an example step by step.
Part I: Pick 5 Neighbors Sums Conversion Step 1: Divide 00155 into separate digits: 00155 => 0 0 1 5 5 Step 2: Convert each digit to filter: 0 = 1 0 = 1 1 = 1 5 = 3 5 = 3 Step 3: Combine the filters to a string: 1 1 1 3 3 = 11133
Part II: Pick 5 Neighbors Sums Conversion Step 1: Divide the 11133 into separate digits: 11133 => 1 1 1 3 3 Step 2: Add up the digits: 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 3 = 9
