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."
Complete and utter nonsense. The entire context is dice roll. Why do you persist in your silly attempt to make this anything but pure a probability (aka mathematics) question? You cannot admit your were wrong. Sad.
