I can't see any straight forward way to do this.

The 4 dice would have to add up to 6,9,12,15,18,21 or 24

 

The only way for the dice to add to 24 is   6,6,6,6      that is one combination.

 

Add to 21

6,6,6,3

6,6,5,4

6,5,5,5,              So there are 3 ways to add to 21

 

Add to 6

1,1,1,3

1,1,2,2             So there are only 2 ways to add to 6

 

Add to 9

1,1,1,6

1,1,2,5

1,1,3,4

1,2,2,4

1,2,3,3         that is it I think so that is  5 ways

 

Add to 12

1,1,4,6,

1,1,5,5

1,2,3,6

1,2,4,5

2,2,2,6

2,2,3,5

2,2,4,4

2,3,3,4

3,3,3,3        that seems to be 9 ways

 

Add to 15

1,2,6,6

1,3,5,6

1,4,5,5

1,4,4,6

2,2,5,6

2,3,4,6

2,3,5,5

2,4,4,5

3,3,3,6

3,3,4,5

3,4,4,4       there seems to be 11 there

 

add to 18     (I am going to try and do it differently - in pairs this time)

 

6+12            1,5,6,6

                     2,4,6,6

                     3,3,6,6

7+11             1,6,5,6

                     2,5,5,6

8+10            6,2,6,4 

                     6,2,5,5

                     5,3,4,6

                      5,3,5,5

                      4,4,4,6

                      4,4,5,5                     

9+9               6,3,6,3,

                     6,3,4,5                      That seems to be 11 ways

 

 

6                  2 ways

9                  5 ways

12                9 ways

15               11 ways

18              11 ways

21                3 ways

24                1 way

 

So if I haven't made any mistakes I get   2+5+9+11+11+3+1 =2+5+9+11+11+3+1

= 42 ways of thowing a multiple of 3
