One die is a six. What are the odds the other is a six?
The first part is irrelevant.
The odds of rolling two sixes from the start is different. But the first die has nothing to do wit the second die.
Now, you're rephrasing it so it seems you've rolled two dice and don't know what either is, but you know at least one is a six. It's a different question.
I'm not actually sure of that one, I'll have to ponder it.
But as asked? The vast majority of your friends gt it right.
