Question

How many outcomes are possible if you toss three dice at a time? Each dice can come up six different ways.

Answer 1

180

Three dice provide 6^3 (216)  possible numbers . However since you are always throwing three dice  you cannot  count the numbers which have values produced by using just one die or two dice.   So subtract  6^2 (36)  from  216 and you get 180

Answer 2

216
