Re: 3 Dice probability
Different face from the 3 or different from each other too?
Is this okay 4,4,4 and 5,5, 2 or must it be like this 6,6,6, and 1,3, 5?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Hi Agnishom;
Generating functions are really a shortcut way to do all types of counting problems. They turn combinatorics and probability problems into computational ones.

Hi jacks;
How many ways can you select 3 balls from a pile or 4 red balls, another pile of 3 yellow balls and a pile of 2 blue balls.

Hi bobbym
You have some unmatched parenthesis in there...
That's LaTeX, not Lisp.
