Oops, my apology, that chart already does 0-9 not 1-10, so 13 or 14 would tie 
as the most common sum.

if you sum the three numbers across in all three digit numbers from
001 to 999, what sum would come up the most often? 2nd most? etc

obviously 1 and 27 would be the two least.

er, not obviously — 27 is least, 1 and 26 are tied for next least
Oh right because 100,010 and 001  etc... I got that...


In gamer parlance, that's the distribution of 3d10-3.

that illustrates what i expected — the distribution is a symmetrical
curve highest in the middle (or would be if zero weren't nixed)


Fine,  now tell me what the single sum is so I don't have to do the math :-)

If you look at the table, 13 or 14 show up 7.5% of the time, subtract three and 
it would be 10 or 11.
