Sorry, i've tried re-spacing this twice now, and it still refuses to show properly
total combos 64
males 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
combos yeilding 1 6 15 20 15 6 1 64
1.5625% 9.3750% 23.4375% 31.2500% 23.4375% 9.3750% 1.5625% 100%
your chances of getting all females (0 males) is 1.5625%, all males is the same, so total would be 3.125%
you can easily look this up for different numbers of boxes in any standard combinations table.
