Original Explanation
The most efficient approach here would be generating functions. However, we are going to solve via casework instead. The possibilities of values (not ordered in any way currently) that result in a sum of are
Three of these combinations have all distinct values. Namely, these are , and . For these sets of outcomes, there are ways they can be assigned to the three dice. These yield possibilities.
The other three outcomes have two distinct values. For these, there are only ways they can each be assigned to the dice, as you only select the die that shows the value that differs from the other two. Then, the other two dice are fixed. These yield possibilities.
Combining these two cases yields possibilities that result in a sum of . We divide by to get the probability, yielding a final answer of .
