It's ok, I trust you. (Not sure about Melody.. Haha)
Counting the number of outcomes in which four 6-sided dice don't all show the same number would require some pretty delicate casework.
However, counting all the outcomes in which four 6-sided dice do all show the same number is very easy:
there are only 6 ways this can happen, namely all ones, all twos, all threes, all fours, all fives, and all sixes.
So since there are $6^4$ total outcomes, we can conclude that
$$ P(\text{4 dice all show the same number}) = \frac{6}{6^4} = \frac{1}{6^3} = \frac{1}{216}. $$
Therefore, using the principle of complementary probabilities, we can conclude that $$ P(\text{4 dice don't all show the same number}) = 1 - \frac{1}{216} = \boxed{\frac{215}{216}}. $$
Sorry if this didn't come out right, but the answer would be 215/216 :) Hope this helped.
Hey Mellie, what was the address of the post that we all got different answers on?
Hi Mellie
Oh yes I saw CPhill answer it too but that was AFTER I made my comment.
I must have got it confused with a similar question.
Sorry anon :)
