As they are indistinguishable, it should be $6.$
\[\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}e^{\frac{2 \pi i k}{n}}=0\]
Using $L^AT_EX$ and following the rules of the forum are very easy but really important, too.Please co-operate.

Check again, like when 2 indistinguishable fair coins are thrown, how many different outcomes are there? $3$, TT, HT, HH
Please read Forum Guide and Rules before you post.

Use $L^AT_EX$, It makes our work a lot easier!

Have a look.
6 Heads, No Tail
5 Heads, 1 Tail
4 Heads, 2 Tails
.........
No Head , 6 Tails

It's $7$. For $n$ indistinguishable fair coins, $(n+1)$ outcomes.
