Here is the original statement again:

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?


The question says you have 2 dice, shake, slam, and the peeker says one of them is a duece. It doesn't say you shake , slam, and peek a million times. It says shake, slam, peek---1 is a duece. What is the probability both (i.e. the other) is a duece.

Where do you see anything more than a one shot deal.
