# Challenge
This is a simple randomness challenge: Given a non-negative integer $n$, and positive integer $m$, simulate rolling and summing the results of $n$ fair dice, each of which have $m$ sides numbered $1$ through $m$.
Here is a basic ungolfed example in Python:
```python
from random import randint
def roll(n, m):
return sum([randint(1, m) for i in range(n)])
```

Roll n fair dice
