You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 16 outcomes
1/16 each for 11, 22,33,44
1/16 for score 2
2/16 for score 3
3/16 for score 4
4/16 for score 5
3/16 for score 6
2/16 for score 7
1/16 for score 8
the most common score is a 5, with probability 1/4, and the probability of getting that three times in a row is (1/4)^3=1/64.
