Assuming each "digit" actually has 10 different states, there are one million combinations possible in a six-digit combination lock. However, many combination lock designs actually have fewer than 10 different states per "digit", resulting in far fewer actual combinations on such locks.
Way to many (:

This number is a permutation of the number of tumblers and the number of codes on each tumbler. So a three tumbler lock with five codes on each tumbler would have 5 x 5 x 5 = 125 combinations. A four tumbler lock with four codes on each tumbler would have 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 256 combinations.
A certain lock has three tumblers, and each tumbler can assume four positions. How many different possibilities are there?

Linus Yale, Sr., didn't invent the lock. The oldest known lock was found by archeologists in the Khorsabad palace ruins near Nineveh. That lock was estimated to be 4,000 years old. It was a forerunner to a pin tumbler type of lock, and a common Egyptian lock for the time. Linus Yale re-invented a pin-tumbler lock in 1848. Linus Yale Jr. patented a new improved cylinder pin-tumbler lock in 1861.

Just one. * * * * * Depends on how many numbers are on each ring. If there are x numbers, then the total number of combinations (actually they are permutations) is x*x*x or x3.
A lock can utilize a lever mechanism as part of its design to secure the mechanism in place. However, not all locks use levers in their operation, as there are many different types of locking mechanisms such as pin and tumbler or electronic locks.

The volume of a tumbler can vary, but on average, a tumbler typically holds around 250-300 ml of liquid.
