We have 10 standard 6-sided dice, all different colors. In how many ways can we roll them to get a sum of 20?

There are 85,228 ways of getting 20 when rolling 10 dice. The probability of rolling a total of 20 is:

85,228 / (6^10) =85,228 / 60,466,176 =0.00140951 x 100=0.140951%.

The calculations for these odds are exactly the same as calculating the coefficient of x^20 in the expansion of this: (x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+x^6)^10. So that x^20 =85,228x^20.

I'm not sure I understand the website. Can you rephrase it so it is simpler?

I found out that we must find how many ways are there to give out 20 dots to 10 dice. Try simplifying that and find a pattern... I'm working on that right now

CPhill can explain it much better than I can. He can show you how to calculate the coefficient of x^20 in the expansion of the above sequence. 

Oh okay, but thanks so much!!!

You still have not responded to my last answer even though I specifically requested you to.

That was 2.5 weeks ago.  Why would I bother responding to this new question?
