    Probability: No. cases of condition / Total no. cases

    Total cases=6*6=36

    (2;5), (4;3), (5;2), (6;1), 4 cases w/ sum 7

    prob=4/36=1/9

    (Excuse my probability table)

    1 2 3 b 5 6

    b / / / / / /

    2 / / / / Y /

    3 / / / / / /

    4 / / Y / / /

    5 / Y / / / /

    6 Y / / / / /

    Therefore 4/36 = 1/9 chance
