Each die has faces numbered 1 through m, all equally likely. Dice are identical and independent. This model does not determine whether real dice are fair or whether cheating occurred.

Dynamic programming combines the equally likely faces for each die. It counts outcomes exactly; the displayed percentage is rounded. No random simulation is used.

The sum ranges from n to n × m. Targets outside this range give 0% or 100% according to the selected event.

Common questions

Can the target be outside the possible range?

Yes. Impossible events return 0%; certain events return 100%.
