document.write( "It's obvious that half the possible rolls will have an odd sum
\n" );
document.write( "and the other half will have an even sum.  So the probability

document.write( "The rolls colored red below have an odd sum and so the probability
\n" );
document.write( "of rolling one of the red rolls is 18 out of the 36 possible rolls
