the dices were numbered remember
4,6,2,1 is not the same as 1,6,4,2

But its also mentioned that the dices are numbered.. Making each one of them unique...

the dices are tossed at once, if you have 1-2-3-4 and 2-3-4-1 what is the difference between these two sets. Both contain the four dices with the same numbers
BTW, i made this up to puzzle and solved for 15= 6C4 or 6P4/4!
