That's ok, no need to apologise.

Anyway, I went swimming, and had some thoughts. I have 3 3 sided dice. What is the probability of getting each dice showing a unique number, ie 1 2 3.

There are 27 combinations (3^3) there are 6 chances of getting 123 (123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321)

or 6/27, 2/9

Now this implies that there is more than one chance of getting 7 groups of 143 numbers with the 7 sided dice. So not only one then.

Still don't know what the probability is though,
