@ FINNER:

what the lone tenno(s) above me were trying to say: you only need to test mod-combinations 18 times. we start trying to kill the lich with a random combination of mods. after every fail, we switch the mod in the first slot to the next we haven't tried yet. after 7 fails, we know which mod belongs in the first slot (if we failed 7 times, it must be the one not tested yet). now we repeat the procedure for the second slot; this time it takes 6 fails. and then 5 more fails for the third slot. after that, we know the right combination, and the 19th try will kill the lich. (keep in mind that this is the worst case where we assume we always fail. but it's also possible to kill the lich on first try.)

8p3 would be correct if we would not get information about the right mods unless we have the right combination for all 3 equipped.
