While we may lose from rolling the same number 3 times in a row, there may be some other path by which we lose. Additionally, there could be another reason why we do a punishment, for example, if we win. It is therefore not guaranteed that A, B or C are correct.

Further detail:

Imagine the additional rules

  • Rule 3: If you roll a 6 on any dice, you lose.
  • Rule 4: If you win, you have to do a punishment.

Clearly, if we happen to either lose or do a punishment, we can't tell why this happened. For example, if we lost, then we could have either rolled the same number 3 times in a row or rolled a 6 on any dice.

Thanks for the answer :)
