However, I would not fault anybody who wants to believe the 1in11 interpretation, simply because it can be understood in that manner. So why can't the 1in11ers accept that 1in6 is also just as viable--or even more so--an answer as well as an interpretation? Does the pride take THAT much of a hit?
Again, the original question is open to an interpretation that produces an answer of 1/6.

The problem is…Alan (and others) believes 1/6 still holds on an interpretation that ONLY produces 1/11 as the answer.
