Message:  ok....3 dice all the possible combinations?

roll#      1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
dice#1     1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
dice#2     1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3
dice#3     1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3
total      3 4 5 6 7 8 4 5 6 7 8 9 5 6 7

if you see the pattern, here's what will happen
you'll get:

3 4 5 6 7 8
4 5 6 7 8 9
    5 6 7 8 9 10
      6 7 8 9 10 11
        7 8 9 10 11 12
and so on...the last set will be 13-18
there are 36 sets
the probability of getting all numbers between 8 and 13 are equal.
