My little brother (sirschmoopy) is arguin that if you have a combination lock with 3 sppols containing the numbers 0-9 then there are 999 combinations. Can anyone tell me how many there is if he is wrong?

999? Wrong, and
729? Wrong.

It's 1,000. The combo: 0-0-0 counts, as well as 0-0-1 to 9-9-9, so that's 1,000.

Where the heck did a guess of 729 come from?!

You have 9 possibilities for each digit and 3 digits, hence 9x9x9.  The mathematical process used is a combination (oddly enough) which is similar to a permutation.  Someone else must know what I'm talking about.
Whoops, there are 10 possibilities.  No wonder I failed that last math exam.

You do know 3 zeros is not a lock combo? "000" is default for unlocking it.

000 is the default setting in most of the lock types in question. It is, however, a combination.

Is 000 not a combination of 3 numbers? Just because it is usually used as the default doesn't make it any less of a lock code possibility

Yes it is default for unlocking it. And I was wrong when saying its not a combo, I admit.

there is 1000. Numbers 0-9 mean 10 numbers on each spool. possible combinations are equal to the numbers on each spoole multiplied. in this case 10x10x10 which is 1000. There

I'll hijack this thread for a moment:
I've always wondered how many possible combinations are there in lottery where you pick combination of 7 numbers of maximum 39 number(1-39)

Wouldn't it be 39x38x37x36x35x34x33 since you have 1 less number to choose from each time?
