The question is which is the sum of all possible dice combinations:

And the answer is 217.
I'm curious to know why...

What do you mean by "dice combinations"? Combinations of how many dice?

Seems reasonable answer. Thank you very much!

That wasn't an answer! Denis was pointing out a calculation that gives 217. He said he didn't know why that would be valid.
