Let me list deficiencies that I see in this post.


    1)  In the combination of words  "a dice",  "a" means that one die is considered, 
        at the same time "dice" is the plural form of "die".


        So, using this combination "a dice" is just self-contradictory in English.



    2)  The next line says  "the sum of faces".

        Commonly used formulation is "the sum of top numbers", but it relates to two or more dice.



    3)  The third line also relates to the sum of top numbers, and again to top faces of two or more dice.



     4)  Third line "greater less" makes no sense, at all.


My impression is that you get the problem formulation from phone,  but,  without knowing terminology,
are not able to translate/(to reproduce)  it in  English correctly.

In order for you understand the terminology better,  below is the meaning of words,  taken from the Internet.


    Die is the singular form of dice. It comes from the French word des, a plural word for the same objects. 
    In English, the most common way to make nouns plural is to add an S. If die followed that rule, 
    its plural form would be dies. However, English is full of irregular plurals.


To learn the subject even better,  read the lesson

in this site.

You will find there many other similar solved problems and will learn on how to formulate these problems  PROPERLY.

Learn English from my post in parallel with  Math and have doubled benefits  (!)

Today I observe a FLOW of problems, part of which have curved formulation, while another part are simply INCORRECT.

It becomes really interesting to me, who creates these heavily sick problems and from which GARBAGE BOX the visitors recover them.


Probably, the time came to issue this WARNING:

If I will see the flow of nonsensical or heavy sick problems, I will collect their links
and write to the MANAGERS of this project asking them take PERSONAL measures against such visitors.
