Rolling to score (Posted on 2010-11-15) Difficulty: 4 of 5
We roll five standard dice (sides numbered 1 to 6) and write down the sum of the top three i.e. of the 3 highest values.
What is the probability to get 15 ?

I saw this  error (all the rest is ok) but wanted Vital to find it .

Needless to say- his result, augmented by 60/(6^5)  is verified by your  faultless program.
