%N Number of times a point sum n is attained in all 6^6 permutations of throwing 6 dice.

%C The lowest number that can occur is 6 and the highest is 36 and these can be obtained in only a single combination. The number 7 can occur in 6 different ways: 11-11-12, 11-11-21, 11-12-11, 11-21-11, 12-11-11, 21-11-11, etc.
