Just being curious.

Suppose I have a bucket containing 1001 7-sided dice. When I tip them out and count them,
what is the probability of getting exactly 143 of each face?

If I remember probability correctly ...

If you throw one die, the probability of one face coming up is 1/7. If you throw another die, and you want the same face to come up, the joint probability is (1/7) * (1/7), or (1/7)2. Continuing for 1001 dice, the probability should be (1/7)1001, or approximately zero. :)

Correct me if I am wrong!
