There are 3 ways to roll a 4 with 2 die
2 and 2
3 and 1
1 and 3
There are also 3 ways to roll a 10 with 2 die
5 and 5
4 and 6
6 and 4
-------
The total number of possible outcomes
from rolling 2 die are:
+6%2A6+=+36+
So, the probability of getting any one of the 6 favorable
outcomes is +6%2F36+=+1%2F6+
