The game is won when 1 number show up Exactly 3 times
We are given first two throw result in 4 so we need one more 4 to win , this can be done in 1*1*5/6*5/6*1/6*3
where 5/6 is probability of not getting 4 and they can be arranged in 3 ways.
Now we can also win the game if we get rest of numbers 3 times i.e 1,2,3,5,6
so probability will be =5*1/6*1/6*1/6
The probability of winning =5/216+75/216=80/216
