I'd seen it as an issue of 'two dice rolled under separate cups - you look at one of them, see it is a six, and therefore the die under the other cup has a one in six chance of being a six.'
But that's not the question you were asking at all, I see.
In fact, it's much more like this:
Your GM rolls 2d6 behind his GM's screen. He looks at them and says 'Well, one of these is a 6.' You then have to figure out the odds of the other one being a 6 too.
