My first answer was c**p....I'll try again
If the b***s and boxes are distinguishable
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We can put all 6 b***s into any box.....there are 3 ways to do this....put them into the first box, the second box or the third box
So 3 ways in this arrangement
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We can put 5 b***s into one box, 1 in another and 0 into the last
But since the b***s are distinguishable, we can pick any 5 of the 6 to put into a box and we have 3 ways to choose that box. = 3C(6,5) = 18 ways
And we have 1 way to choose the next ball and 2 ways to select the next box = 2 ways
The last box is empty and determined by default
So 18 x 2 = 36 ways in this arrangement
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And we can put 4 b***s into one box and 1 in each of the remaining two.
So we have 3 ways to choose the first box and we want to select any 4 of the 6 b***s to put into that box. So 3C(6,4) = 45 ways
And we have 2 ways to choose the next box and 2 ways to choose the next ball = 4 ways
And the final box and ball are determined by default
So 45 x 2 = 180 ways in this arrangement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And we can select 3 b***s in one box, 2 into another and 1 in the last
We have 3 ways to select the first box and we want to choose 3 of the 6 b***s to put into that box......so we have 3C(6,3) = 60 ways to do that
Then, we have 2 ways to choose the next box to put 2 of the remaining 3 b***s into....so this is 2C(3,2) = 6 ways
Again the last ball and and box are determined by default
So the total ways here are 60 x 6 = 360 ways in this arrangement
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And we can put 4 b***s into one box and two into another
We have 3 ways to choose the first box and we want to choose any 4 of the 6 b***s to put into this = 3C(6,4) = 45 ways
And we want to put the other two b***s into either of the remaining two boxes = 2 ways to do this
The last box is empty by default
So 45 x 2 = 90 ways in this arrangement
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And we can put 3 b***s into one box and 3 into another
There are 3 ways to choose the first box and we want to choose 3 of the 6 b***s
So 3C(6,3) = 60 ways
And there are 2 ways to select the next box to put the remaining 3 b***s into = 2
The last box is empty by default
So 60 x 2 = 120 ways in this arrangement
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And finally, we can put 2 b***s into every box
We have 3 ways to choose the frst box and we want to choose 2 of the 6 b***s to put into that box 3C(6,2) = 45 ways
And then we have 2 ways to select the next box and we want to choose 2 of the remaining 4 b***s to put into this = 2C(4,2) = 12 ways
The last 2 b***s and box remain by default.
So 45 x 12 = 540 ways
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, to recap
6 0 0 = 3 ways
5 1 0 = 36 ways
4 2 0 = 90 ways
4 1 1 = 180 ways
3 3 0 = 120 ways
3 2 1 = 360 ways
2 2 2 = 540 ways
So 3 + 36 + 90 + 180 + 120 + 360 + 540 = 1329 ways
