No, 720 is 36 x 20. This is 36 ^ 20, which means 36 x 36 x 36 .............. and so on, twenty times.
Which is about 1,33675 x 10 ^ 31. So the average amount of tries somebody needs is half of that, which is 6,68375 x 10 ^ 30. Good luck.
Oh yeah, if you want to know the chance that you'll get it right after ..... tries, just ask me. I need to practice for my test next week anyway.

Well, if X stands for the amount of possibilities, the probability to find the pass after x tries (x < X) is 1/(X-x)... Of course, if the guy does not use two times the same pass, if he did so, the probability to find it would always be 1/X.

Don't forget that the password could contain symbols like @ or ~.
And Jona, if you want studying...

Why not? It's Maths, and that's what you wanted.

You must have had very little maths to think that's the only sort of maths that exists.

Since when did I say it was the only Maths I knew. It is still Maths..
And if that is not good enough for you, what kind of Maths would you like?

Hmm... proving things in 2D pictures, probability... it's what my test is about.

I agree with Jona, calculating stupid things like that is uninteresting. The power of Mathematics is somewhere else

Probability huh? I like probability!
The chance that Jona is my second cousin is 0.0005!!!!!!

The chance that Spaceray has a good mark at maths is about 1/1000

lol, and the chance that after less than 15 tries, you get a 6 or higher for the same test, is 0,2648. I hope you studied well...

I have a friend who is a quarter Italian, but he doesn't speak that much of it. He prefers English.
