Answer:

216

Explanation:

lots.

You can get any one of 6 results from the first die

You can get any one of 6 results from the second die

You can get any one of 6 results from the third die.

Outcomes = 6 * 6 * 6 = 216. Try list time and you will see that there must be that many.

Suppose the first die is a weighted die such that you always get one.

Suppose the other two dice are fair ones. And they each can be anything.

Those two fair ones will give you 36

Now if you catch on to the way the first die works and trade it for a fair one, you will get 6 times 36 which is 216
