Our difference is over the wording of the question.
Those of us who say the answer is 1/6 believe that the question simulates the following:
Two dice are thrown on a craps table and one comes to rest on the 2 face. The second die spins like a top. What are the chances that the "spinner" will land on a 2?
We -- the 1/6ers -- see nothing to indicate that given two dice with one frozen to show a 2, could possibly result in 11 faces to be considered.
