I'm sure this has been calculated before, but I just realised tonight that I had absolutely no idea what the chances were of diferent outcomes with different numbers of dice, so I sat down and worked it out.

I figured some of you might be interested if you've never seen it before, so here are the results:

(Oh, I'm pretty sure I've calculated it right, but if it is wrong can you let me know.)
