Triple Ones and Triple Sixes

You repeatedly roll three fair six-sided dice at once. A roll summing to 3 3 (all ones) has probability 1216 \frac{1}{216} , and so does a roll summing to 18 18 (all sixes). What is the expected number of rolls until you have witnessed both a triple-one and a triple-six at least once?
