Hi

Frank rolls a six sided dice twice in a row. 

Let Down and Across represent the various results of each of the two rolls:

___1__2__3__4__5__6

1|_2__3__4__5__6__7

2|_3__4__5__6__7__8

3|_4__5__6__7__8__9

4|_5__6__7__8__9__10

5|_6__7__8__9__10_11

6|_7__8__9_10__11_12 



What is the probability that the sum of the numbers he rolls will be 8?

P = 5/36
