in a bag , there are two 6 - sided dice ( numbered 1 to 6 ) , 3 12 - sided dice ( numbered 1 to 12 ) , and two 20 - sided dice ( numbered 1 to 20 ) . if 4 of these dice are selected at random from the bag , and then the 4 are rolled and we find the sum of numbers showing on the 4 dice , how many different possible totals are there for this sum ?
as ' complex - looking ' as this question might appear , it ' s actually rather simple . pay careful attention to what the specific questions asks for - the number of different possible sums from 4 dice . since we ' re dealing with some ' special ' dice ( some 12 - sided and 20 - sided dice ) , we have to adjust out math accordingly , but the possibilities are rather limited : 1 ) the minimum number on any given die is 1 2 ) the maximum possible sum would only occur if we took the 4 biggest possible dice and rolled the highest possible number on each . with 4 dice , we could end up with any sum between : 4 ( if we rolled 1 s on all 4 dice ) to 64 ( if we rolled two 20 s on the 20 - sided dice and two 12 s on the 12 - sided dice ) . thus , there are only 61 possible sums . e
