My Tenzi group was myself, Allyson and Erina. And since we did the experiment on The Day of Silence, Allyson and I couldn't really talk to participate.
But our group stared out by rolling all ten dice and just noting how often rolls could be grouped. Like if we rolled the ten dice and four of them were 5's we added a mark to the "4" category since it was a group of 4. We did that for 50 rolls.
After we looked at those, we decided to see if we could come up with a way to calculate how many different possible combinations we could possibly roll. We started out by calculating how many combinations we could make using only two dice. This was a simple task since it just involved writing the different combinations and making sure there were no repeat combinations. We found that there were 21 different combinations that you could make using two dice. Then we went on to using 3 dice. This got a little bit more difficult since there would be a lot more combinations using more dice.
So we tried to figure out how we could quantify our combinations and skip over to finding an equation to give us the answer for the 3 dice combinations. We tried a few different was but didn't ultimately get anywhere for finding a solid equation.
Erina tried using the number of combinations from the set of 2 dice and then subtracting numbers. This didn't make a lot of sense to me, but I tried adding numbers instead of subtracting (I don't have pictures of this because it didn't make any sense). We didn't actually find an answer to this question, but as a group we were all pretty interested in finding the actual answer.
