hey siliconfish

I know what you mean and this does seem confusing. I've learned the best thing to do is imagine place holders for the dice.

Like a slot machine.

The first place holder is for dice #1, the second for dice #2, etc.

Don't think about it like throwing 3 "at once"

imagine the slot machine in vegas

slot 1 slot 2 slot 3

and the outcomes of the dice show up accordingly

whats the way of getting a 531 product? only three ways 531, 513, etc

whats the way of getting a 555 product? only ONE way
