I'm not sure where to start on this and would appreciate your help, thank you! Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the lock uses three distinct numbers (i.e. no number is used twice), and the numbers range from 0 to 39 (including zero), then there are 40! different combinations available to the lock. That is, there are 40x39x38.....x1 different sequences of numbers.
