How many ways are there to get a 12 with 3 dices?
Firstly, the plural of die is dice. Dices means nothing.
Now the grammar police have come and gone, this isn't so hard to ennumerate yourself.
Why don't you have a go writing them out, and we'll help you to spot any you have missed.
Expand this out and the coefficient of x^12 is your answer.
Based on your question galactus's answer (while totally awesome :) ) is probably over your head. Based on "Dices" I'm guessing capuchin's "enumerate" is also going to be more than you can handle. Try this:
Write out all the different ways that you can roll 3 dice into a table and include the sum. It would start something like this:
1 1 1 = 3
1 1 2 = 4
1 1 3 = 5
then count up all the 12s you have in the right hand column.
for example, how many ways can you get a 3 with 2 dice?
you can see there are only 2 combinations that equal 3 so the answer is 2.Code:1 1 = 2 2 1 = 3 3 1 = 4
1 2 = 3 2 2 = 4 3 2 = 5
1 3 = 4 2 3 = 5 3 3 = 6
1 4 = 5 2 4 = 6 3 4 = 7
1 5 = 6 2 5 = 7 3 5 = 8
1 6 = 7 2 6 = 8 3 6 = 9
4 1 = 5 5 1 = 6 6 1 = 7
4 2 = 6 5 2 = 7 6 2 = 8
4 3 = 7 5 3 = 8 6 3 = 9
4 4 = 8 5 4 = 9 6 4 = 10
4 5 = 9 5 5 = 10 6 5 = 11
4 6 = 10 5 6 = 11 6 6 = 12
