The only combinations of rolls with sum exceeding 15 are these 4: 4+6+6 = 16 5+5+6 = 16 5+6+6 = 17 6+6+6 = 18 However, each of the first 3 rolls have 3!/2! = 3 distinguishable permutations. That's 3×3 or 9 ways. The fourth roll 6+6+6 can only be had in one way. So that's a total of 10 ways the sum can exceed 15. The number of possible rolls is 6·6·6 = 216 So the desired probability if 10 ways out of 216, or, which reduces to , choice B). Edwin
