Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have a fascination with tabletop
sports games, and through that, I've developed an interest in
probability. That said, it's not my strong suit, so I wanted to
pose this question because I think involves a few different
probability principles to solve it.  Here's the premise...the
game uses a roll of 3d6 to determine the result of a play. The
dice are read from lowest to highest, as in:  a roll of 3, 6, 2
would be 2-3-6 a roll of 1, 4, 1 would be 1-1-4 etc.  That roll
is then looked up on a chart to determine the result.  I was
curious about the probability of different results coming up so
that if I wanted to make a house rule, I would know which result
would be the best place to modify.  So, what I do know is that
for probability, you multiply chances together, correct? So
without the low to high rule I discussed above, any number would
have a 1/6 * 1/6 * 1/6 chance of occurring, correct?  How would
I apply this principle to any result? My guess is something
like:  1-1-4 = 1/6 * 1
