You roll two fair 6-sided dice.

One of them is a 6.

What are the odds that the other is also a six?

PS: The question COULD be completely accurately rephrased as "at least one of the two dice IS a six. Given that, what are the odds that BOTH dice came up six?"

That restatement adds no conditions and changes nothing - and yet, is a much clearer statement of the issue.
