Hi. My brain hurts too much today for me to think properly so I'm going to unleash this question on the general masses.

Given a sequence of 6 random numbers (0-9) what is the probability of me guessing 2 numbers (0-9) that are a member of that sequence?
Also, say the 6 numbers wern't entirely random and it was known that all of the numbers in the sequence could not be the same and that they couldn't all be in numerical order (i.e 1 2 3 4 5 6 or 8 7 6 5 4 3 are illegal), would that change the odds of guessing 2 that fit and by how much?

Thanks.
