AI explanation

When three dice are thrown, the total number of possible outcomes is 6 cubed, which is 216. The combinations that give a total sum of at most 6 are those adding up to 3, 4, 5, and 6; counting the permutations for these sums yields exactly 20 favorable outcomes. The probability is therefore 20/216, which simplifies to 5/54.
