Can I bebothered to change it?
Whats the exact calculation? I know its got something to do with permutations.

splungeif it's 49 numbers then its
49 x 48 x 47 x 46 x 45 x 44
which = 10,068,347,520 this is for all 6 numbers of course
if not then replace the 49 with the max number and follow same pattern :-p

*Gets textbook out*
"The number of ways of choosing r items from a group of n items is written nCr and is calculated by:
n!/(n-r)!r!
r = 6
n = 49
So nCr = 13,983,816
And that concludes today's A-Level Maths lesson.
