to find the probability you must multiply the probability of rolling doubles by itself 3 times.

to roll a double of any number you have to have the same number on a six-sided die that can be represented as 1/6 times 1/6 = 1/36 chance per roll


(1)/(36) * (1)/(36) * (1)/(36) = (1)/(46656)

there is a 1 in 46656 chance in rolling doubles 3 times in a row.
