Math Lesson
I elaborate on the count of permutations for each hand on my page, Dazzling Dice , excluding two pairs, as they don't yield any payouts in this game.
In a two pair, there are combin (6,2) equals 15 distinct ways to select two ranks from five for the two pairs. Subsequently, there are four remaining options to pick the rank of the single die. The number of ways to position the first pair is given by combin(5,2)=10, while combin(3,2)=3 provides the positioning for the second pair. Therefore, the total permutations for achieving two pairs is 15×4×10×3 = 1,800.
