What are the odds of three dice coming up the same number

If you had 3 dice and they were 30 sides to each of them and rolled them one at a time, what are the odds of them coming up all the same? If you rolled them all at the same time would the odds change for coming up the same number?

-
If you are not specifying which number, the probability that all three will show the same number is 1/30² = 1/900. If you specify which number, the probability is 1/30³ = 1/27000

And it wouldn't matter whether you rolled 1 die three times or 3 dice all at the same time. The probabilities would be the same in either case = 1/900 for all showing the same number or 1/27000 for all showing some specific number.

-
The first dice rolled determines a specific number. Therefore the second and third number rolled must match the first. Therefore the odds are 30² (1/900) that the last two numbers will match the first. If all three dice are thrown at once there will be a 1/27000 chance that they will be the same.

-
1/30 ∙ 1/30 ∙ 1/30 = 1/27,000
(Assuming no number is repeated on the sides of any dice)

Odds would not change.

1 in 27000 I think, wouldn`t matter when you roll them.
