What is the probability of scoring 10 when you roll 3 dice? (Decimal) What´s the probability of scoring 18 when you roll three dice? (Decimal) Why is the distribution symmetrical? Can you see any special number sequences in the table? Why does this sequence only exist up to a score of 8? 3 6 10 15 21 28 ??? 25 27 27 25 21 15 10 6 3 1

We just figured out that the score of 10 should occur just as frequently as a score of 11. Why hasn´t this happened?
