Milo rolls five fair dice which have 4, 6, 8, 12, and 20 sides respectively (and each one is labeled $1$-$n$ for appropriate $n$. How many distinct ways can they roll a full house (three of one number and two of another)? The same numbers appearing on different dice are considered distinct full houses, so $(1,1,1,2,2)$ and $(2,2,1,1,1)$ would both be counted. [i]Proposed by Robert Trosten[/i]
