So we are tallying the number of times a coin or diamond or step appears in a group of 10 rolls? Since there were no group of 10 rolls that had 2 coins or 2 diamonds or 2 steps, you did not tally any of the "2" bit, isn't it? And since there was only one instance of having 17 of the same thing, 17 steps, you tally up only once in the "17" bit, isn't it? And since there was only one instance of having 3 of the same thing, 3 coins, you tally up only once in the "3" bit, isn't it? If so, that stuff is very interesting. Can't wait to do some more statistics when I get to US-equivalent Grade 12.

By the way, when did you learn this statistics stuff in school/college/university?
