(I am basically reposting how this thread began for placeholder purposes.)

Alan, your original post in this thread said:

"You have two 6-sided dice in a cup. You shake the dice, and slam the cup down onto the table, hiding the result. Your partner peeks under the cup, and tells you, truthfully, "At least one of the dice is a 2."

What is the probability that both dice are showing a 2?"


You, Rob Singer, and regnis all say 1/6 (when done EXACTLY how it is described above in bold lettering).

I say 1/11 (when done EXACTLY how it is described above in bold lettering).

I do think it's time to have an exact simulation of what is written above so this matter can be laid to rest.

We'll just be blowing hot air and never getting anywhere otherwise...forever in pointless disagreement when it can truly be resolved once and for all.

Also, Frank Scoblete has been notably absent from this discussion...
