![](/images/transparent.gif) |
From A bicycle owner: What are the number of permutations (Combinations?) of a combination lock of a cylinder with four separate movable rings. Each ring has the numbers from one to six (six "permutations" per ring).
This is a bicycle lock.
I was told that it is 62 (6x6x6x6) = 1296.
Is this correct?.
