Let's get the number of SUCCESSFUL ways: There are only 6 successful ways they can come up: All 1's, all 2's,..., all 6's. Now let's get the number of POSSIBLE ways: There are 6 possible ways the first die can come up TIMES 6 possible ways the second die can come up TIMES 6 possible ways the third die can come up. So that's 6×6×6 = 6³ = 216 ways. So the probability is 6 successful ways out of 216 possible ways, or 6 out of 216 or 6/216 which reduces to 1/36. Edwin
