I'll sum it up for y'all. The original question was posed by a smart-ass because it really could be interpreted in two ways. The first one out of the gate thought he was a SMARTER-ASS (wiz) by trying to show up the smart-ass with the most technical conclusion available. The problem now transferred over to the WoV minions, who have learned to follow the wizard down that yellow brick road, no matter the consequences. As such, these guys profess only to see the problem's answer exactly as the wiz says it should be, and will not ever admit that the 1in6 answer is also valid when the question is interpreted in one of the two ways the OP meant it to be.
So Alan is right, and arci is also right, which is what I was getting at when I explained how the wizard's bet was based only on the 1in11 interpretation. Alan sees and agrees that the "math guys'" interpretation and 1in11 answer would be correct if everyone were to see & solve the problem as the wizard did, but for some reason the math guys don't want to accept the reasoning for his interpreting the question to yield a 1in6 answer.
Final conclusion: WoVers got taken to the woodshed here, first because they came in blinded by what their leader expects of them, then because they displayed a lack of civility common to a bunch of touchy theory-happy Internet prowlers who actually turned out to be nothing more than sissified versions of mickeycrimm.
