Crowan throws 3 dice and records the product of the numbers appearing at the top of each die as a result of the attempt. What is the probability that the result of any attempt is an odd integer divisible by 25?

My problem with the above question is whether we need to consider each set of result as a distinct possibility such as 5 5 3 and 5 3 5 . If so can you please explain the reasoning.

Thanks in advance.
