there are 36 possible outcomes when two dice are rolled, namely

\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "you did not say how the score is obtained from the dice after they are rolled
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "if we look at the sum of the two dice, then
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(1,2), (1,5), (2,1), (2,4), (3,3), (3,6), (4,2), (4,5), (5,1), (5,4), (6,3), (6,6) have sums that are multiples of 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "there are a total of 12 ways to get a sum which is a multiple of 3
