As soon as the Wiz and others defended the double count of the die with a two it was obvious they were not interpreting the question using basic English. As soon as someone tells me that the original question is not the same as the "dice spinner" I know it's a different mindset they're using, if not speaking a different language altogether.

Sorry -- double counting or switching values on a die is something you can't do in the real world.
I read the original question as a real world problem and not some exercise in Probability which requires multiple throws.

Probability math might work on a forum or in a classroom but just try telling a table crew in Vegas that "that two can also be a three."
