You roll two fair 6-sided dice.
One of them is a 6.
What are the odds that the other is also a six?

Maybe someone else looked at 'em. Maybe you've got a bell that goes PING when a 6 comes up but only rings once no matter how many 6s there are. Maybe this is a hypothetical situation involving hypothetical dice, like the hypothetical game shows with their goats and cars.
What matters is that two dice were rolled, and one of them (without saying which) is a 6.
