SOLUTION: What are the odds against getting a sum greater than 5 with one toss of a PAIR of dice?

Here are all 36 possible rolls.  The red ones are greater than 5 and
the blue ones are NOT greater than 5. 


(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)
 
(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)
 
(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6) 
 
(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6) 
 
(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)
 
(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)



Count the blue ones and the red ones and put in those 
numbers with a colon ":" between them. 

BLUES:REDS

Then divide both by 2, and put a colon between them.
