When a fair 6 sided die is tossed on a table top, the bottom face cannot be\r\n" );
document.write( "seen. What is the probability that the product of the 5 faces that can be seen\r\n" );
document.write( "is divisible by 6?\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It is absolute certain!  That is, the probability is 1.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Reason: Either 6 is on the bottom or it isn't\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1.  If 6 is not on the bottom, then 6 can be seen, and so the product\r\n" );
document.write( "will certainly be a multiple of 6, because 6 is included in the multiplying. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2.  If 6 is on the bottom, then both 2 and 3 can be seen, and since \r\n" );
document.write( "their product is 6, the product of all faces that can be seen will certainly\r\n" );
document.write( "be a multiple of 6, since 2 and 3 will both be included in the multiplying. \r\n" );
