7776 is the chance that the following occurs:
1st die: E
2nd: Y
3rd: R
4th: I
5th: E

Not the chance:
1st die: E
2nd: I
3rd: R
4th: Y
5th: E




yes it is o.o
you have a 1/6 for rolling the E, 1/6 for the I, 1/6 for the R, 1/6 for the Y, etc. Its a combination, not a permutation if I recall from math class?

hus the number would be smaller and not greater because you have more chances of rolling a pet name when you have four to choose from.

1/7776 + 1/7776 + 1/216 + 1/1296

7776 divided by 216 = 36
7776 divided by 1296 = 6

1/7776 + 1/7776 + 36/7776 + 6/7776


is this any right? i hope it doesnt cause any confusion (especially if it's wrong!)

1/7776 + 1/7776 + 36/7776 + 6/7776
=44/7776

(44/44=1, 7776/44=176.7272)

=1/177
