Furthermore, if you were just to say "I will roll to establish a number, and then I will hit that same number in any 3 out of the next 6 rolls", the I believe the odds would be calculated by:
1/1 (the initial roll, establishing x) x [ 1/37 x 1/37 x 1/37] (the rolls you hit the number x) x [37/36 x 37/36 x 37/36] (the rolls that are not preestablished as being x... therefore have the ability to be any number)
which would equal 1: 46,656
..for the curious.
