[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6887485, member: 92305"] You can see why I need help! :lol: 3 dice, each with 6 outcomes. A six sided die. Really, I'm trying to simulate the six sided cards. I think you're thinking of the dice. Cubical. No, I'm trying to simulate outcomes on playing cards, like a deck of poker cards. These cards would be hex shaped. Six sided hexes. This is a rough pic, but it's what I could find at Google Images. Imagine the below was a playing card. [CENTER][IMG]https://www.math.cmu.edu/CNA/Summer16/images/hexagonal.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] Each playing card has six sides. Imagine that, along the flat edges of each side, were printed a symbol and suit. You'be dealt three cards, but you can only play two. You have to discard one card. What I'm tryning to figure is: How many possible outcomes in a hand if you are dealt three cards and can only use two. You play the cards--make your hand--by matching sides on two of the cards. You'd lay them on the table so that they look like this....

Whatever matching suit and symbol that you've matched on those two sides is ranked--that's the hand you play. [/QUOTE]
