There are 216 permutations of three dice. Of these, 206 have a sum that is less than 16, specifically, the permutations 466, 556, 565, 566, 646, 655, 656, 664, 665, and 666 have sums that are 16 or greater - all other permutations have sums that are less than 16. The probability, then, of rolling a sum less than 16 on three dice is 206 in 216, or about 0.9537.
