Consider a die that has only four sides, marked 1,2,3,4.
Toss a pair of these dice and assume the outcomes are equally likely.
-------------------------------------
3-patterns:: 1/2 ; 2/1 ---- 2 ways
Total possible outcomes:: 4*4 = 16
------------------------------
P(sum of dice is three) = 2/16 = 1/8
-----------------
