problem

One fair die is rolled; let aa denote the number that comes up. We then roll aa dice; let the sum of the resulting aa numbers be bb. Finally, we roll bb dice, and let cc be the sum of the resulting bb numbers. Find the expected (average) value of cc.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
One fair die is rolled; let a denote the number that comes up. We then roll a dice; let the sum of the resulting a numbers be b. Finally, we roll b dice, and let c be the sum of the resulting b numbers. Find the expected (average) value of c.
Original LaTeX notation
One fair die is rolled; let $a$ denote the number that comes up. We then roll $a$ dice; let the sum of the resulting $a$ numbers be $b$. Finally, we roll $b$ dice, and let $c$ be the sum of the resulting $b$ numbers. Find the expected (average) value of $c$.
