    Miguel rolled a 6-sided die repeatedly until one number was rolled three times, stopping after 12 rolls with a total sum of 47. By assuming the minimum numbers of rolls for each unique number (4 numbers twice, 1 number once, 1 number three times), and subtracting the single rolls from the running total, the number that must have been rolled three times is 6.

    1. In a class experiment, Miguel rolls one ordinary 6-sided die repeatedly.

    Keeping track of each


    number he rolls, he decides to stop as soon as one number is rolled three times. Miguel stops
    after the 12th roll, and the sum of these rolls is 47. Which number occurred for the third time?
    (An ordinary 6-sided die has the numbers from 1 through 6 on its sides)

    Understand the problem


    At a 12th roll, Miguel stopped as a one number was rolled three times. What is
    this one number? Note that these rolls are equal to 47 when all added.

    Devise a plan
    Since it has a 12 rolls, Only:
    - 4 number appears twice
    - 1 number appears once
    - 1 number appears thrice
    Or
    2+2+2+2+1+3=12

    By that, we will assume that:


    x = the number that appears once
    y = the number that appears thrice

    Carry out the plan


    Baseline is every roll twice (21x2=42).

    42 - (x-y) = 47 -------------(Since x and y need to be only rolled once, we will subtract it.)
    - (x-y) = 47-42
    - (x-y) = 5
    -x+y=5
    - 1 + 6 = 5 ------------------(from 1-6, only -1 + 6 = 5)

    Therefore, x = 1 and y = 6. Number six is the number that appears thrice.

    Applying the the device plan, 2+2+3+3+4+4+5+5+1+6 = 47

    Look back
    Afterall, the solution shows that the number who occurred for the third time is six.
    Therefore, Miguel stops at a 12th roll after the number six was rolled three times.
