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 04988 into separate digits: 04988 => 0 4 9 8 8 Step 2: Convert each digit to filter: 0 = 1 4 = 3 9 = 5 8 = 5 8 = 5 Step 3: Combine the filters to a string: 1 3 5 5 5 = 13555
Part II: Pick 5 Neighbors Distance Codes Conversion Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits: 13555 => 1 3 5 5 5 Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first): 1 to 3 => 2 3 to 5 => 2 5 to 5 => 0 5 to 5 => 0 5 to 1 => 4 Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual], 1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]): 2 => N 2 => N 0 => E 0 => E 4 => N Step 4: Combine the filters to a string: N N E E N = NNEEN
