The answer was 1555, if I remember correctly, and i finally got the 3rd place trophy and the avatar! Whoohoo!
You had to take the total number of the six dice (6^6) and find x dice positions that can lead to the perfect position (146666, 164666, etc.) and then 6^6 / x = answer
there were 30 possible perfect positions, and 6^6 = 46656, so....
46656/30 = 1555.2

Since no one actually posted the message, I will. 
Congratulations! You have guessed correctly in the Lenny Conundrum game (round 141). You have won 1701 NP! Because you were in the first 250 to guess correctly, you also have been awarded a Pirate Accessory Set, and receive a trophy and the Lenny Conundrum avatar!
Yes, the answer was 1555. Greenbugsy's analysis is correct.

They did specify odds (ratio of probabilty of event occuring to event not occuring) so it should have been 1554. I sent in 1555 cause in today's society odds and probabilities are one in the same. Only mathmeticians make the distinction between the two.

I don't get is :l

I have figured out a word puzzle. I am so happy with myself. 
I usually don't do very well at these.
The blanks actually are blanks. The puzzle asks a question, you need to come up with the answer.

i got it i think, and without figuring out the code. i just used the hints on the boards of words, and cut them out and then rearranged the letters to get stuff. i think i have the question. and i used google to get the answer since i didn't know it. and now i ammuse myself by trying to get the code

i got it too. Skipping thing is not so consitent

Once you figure it out, there is a definite pattern that was used.

yes there is a pattern it is just not entirely consistent with the skipping

I found it to be quite consistent.
