Walking Shep
It is a wet, miserable evening. Although they love Shep, neither Jake nor Jim wants to walk the dog tonight. Jim comes up with a game to decide who will take him for a walk. He finds a dice. To play the game, they must throw a dice with the faces marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Each must take three turns in a row to throw the dice. The first one to get a total of 12 in 3 rolls wins and can relax at home.
How many different ways can they roll to combine 3 rolls of the dice to total 12?
Hint: Make an organised list
