    Probability (P) (k successes out of n trials) = nCk * p^k * (1-p) ^ (n-k), where nCk = n! / (k! * (n-k) !)

    for this problem n=20, p = 1/6 (probability of rolling 1 two) is approximately 0.1667

    P (of getting more that 3 two's) = 1 - P (0 two's out of 20 trials) - P (1 two out of 20 trials) - P (2 two's out of 20 trials) - P (3 two's out of 20 trials)

    P (of getting more that 3 two's) = 1 - 0.026 - 0.104 - 0.198 - 0.238 = 0.434
