Unfortunately, it is you who is unable to comprehend simple stuff as that as to see it is the number of all possible outcomes for two dice versus the one possible outcome we are looking for when the question is involving two dice.

Instead, you are misinterpreting/over/under/thinking that if you were told one of the dice is a two, you get to forget about the initial state of the question and are now dealing with a single die.

The way I see it, you think you are smarter than the majority and are seeing the question for "what it is" - one die is a two, how many faces could be there for the other?

What you fail to take in account in your arrogant state of mind is that the people able to perceive the answer is 1/11 just might be one level up the ladder.
Been there where you are, saw it - no, its not it. Both semantics and mathematics do not agree with 1/6. One level up - there you go, everything lines up. Its 1/11.

Why do you think the bet simulation (the same bet you agreed represents the question in full) confirms it is 1/11? Got an answer? No, you don't. Or maybe you do, but you just need to continue the argument for whatever personal reasons you have.
