Die Order (Posted on 2013-01-04) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A single die is rolled four times.

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
