Try your computation method for the greatly simplified case of an imaginary fair 4-sided die* being rolled 8 times, and getting exactly 2 of each (1,2,3,4).

Then compare your answer to the actual answer which can easily be brute-force computed with a simple C program to be 2520/65536.



* for a 4-sided die, the value for each roll would be the side facing downward
