Assume that you are rolling 2 dice. the first one is blue and the second one is pink.
In how many ways can you roll a sum less than 5?
~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The sum of 2:  (1,1)


The sum of 3:  (1,2), (2,1)


The sum of 4:  (1,3), (2,2), (3,1)


In all, there are 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 possible outcomes for a pair of dice with the sum less than 5.
