What is the probability that the numbers that come up will be in ascending order (not necessarily strictly ascending, but never a lower number after a higher)?
Intended to be solved without a computer.
a(1)= 6 ;
a(2)=21 ;
a(3)=56 ;
> a(4)=126 ;
a(5)= 252 ;
......
a(n)=combin(n+5,n)
.......................
p(4)=126/(6^4)= 7/72
