i think this is the approach,
to get a sum of 10, the results have to be
first = 4, second = 6
first = 5, second = 5
first = 6, and second = 4
to roll a 4 out of a dice, the probability is 1/6,
and so do getting a 5, or 6.
that means,
%281%2F6%29%2A%281%2F6%29+%2B+%281%2F6%29%2A%281%2F6%29+%2B+%281%2F6%29%2A%281%2F6%29+
answer should be
1%2F12+
