This question was asked in Misc 11

Hello Davneet,

In this question,

http://www.teachoo.com/4189/769/Misc-11---In-a-game--a-man-wins-a-rupee-for-a-six-and-loses/category/Miscellaneous/?utm_source=bottom-breadcrumb&utm_campaign=bottom-breadcrumb&utm_medium=Misc%2011

Should we not consider the case that the man does not get a six at all in three throws of the die ? 

That is I thought that the sample space of the experiment consists of  {(6),(not 6,6),(not 6, not 6, 6), (not 6, not 6, not 6)} where 6 means he gets a six on a die and not 6 means he does not get a 6 ?
