Each of A, B, C, D, E and F is a positive integer with A ≤ B ≤ C ≤ D ≤ E ≤ F ≤ 25.
Determine the total number of sextuplets (A ,B, C, D, E, F) such that (A+B+C)*(D+E+F) is divisible by 75.

Re how to proceed, I believe it is a problem tailored to be solved by a simple straightforward software program, checking all the possible 6tuples, like Charlie did.
Even if you succeed in your way of counting, solving a similar problem with ,say, 8-tuples and the upper limit of integers increased to 50 would be significantly harder, whereas in the program it is a question of adding 2 lines of code and increasing the runtime , still within reason.
Can't beat it.
